How to install or remove fonts in Windows XP

Windows has preloaded fonts that come bundled with the operating system.However,there may be times you need a font that is not available in windows.There are many websites out there that offer free fonts.One of my personal favorites is www.urbanfonts.com. To install a font:

  1. Click Start and then Click Run(alternatively,you can use the following key combination Windows Logo Key + R)
  2. Type %windir%\fonts or C:\Windows\fonts and hit Return(Enter)
  3. Click File and then click Install New Font
  4. Browse to the directory which contains the font you want to install.Make sure the Copy Fonts to Fonts Folder check box is checked and click OK.
  5. To uninstall a font follow steps 1 and 2. Click the font you want to uninstall,click File then delete.
