    Free fonts are recommended, but if you find some that you need to pay for, it's usually cheap. www.Dafont.com has both free and paid fonts, but there are so many different styles that you're bound to find free ones.

    The easiest way is to unzip it to the desktop. You can either take the .ttf file alone to the desktop, or the entire folder.
    • The location to where you unzip can change, and you can even unzip it directly to the Fonts folder.
    • When you unzip the file to your desktop, a .ttf file appears on your desktop.

    This location, for my PC at least, is: C:>Windows>Fonts.

    • The font will install on its own.
    • After installation, you see the new font file in your Fonts folder.
