then you're in luck and found a way to automatically install the font. Note that this action wouldn't only have copied the file, but also installed it. In other words, if saralk reports that he can't install the font, this action wont work either, because what it did was installing the font...

On another note: it most likely worked because when you dragged it directly the file was still in use by your download program and couldn't be accessed. By copying it to another location (note "any" location, this doesn't need to be your desktop, since the desktop is nothing more then another directory) it could physically copy the file because it was no longer handled by your downloader and thus freed up.
