Downloading new fonts -- by x_Liana_x on 12-20-2008 at 12:56 AM

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)

Thanks a ton. But, this says it's for all but windows vista.. which is the one I have. Will it still work?

start menu > search for run > type in "%windir%\fonts" > ok > right click > install new font... > locate the folder where the font is > install

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??
