O.P. Downloading new fonts --
How do I download a font? I've always used "Gill Sans MT" in bold. When I got my new laptop and downloaded Windows Live Messenger, the newer version, it did not have it. I cannot seem to find anywhere to download it.

download the attched file, unzip it, then follow the guide (in vista right click > install new font. rather than file > new font)

Nevermind. I got it. Thank you so much!!!!!! :D
Grr.. I was using it on MSN, and suddenly everything I said disappeared. When I type no words show up, when I click the font in the fonts folder it is blank.

What in the world happened??
