Downloading Fonts to Paint.Net/Unzipping them?

[xXSadZombeex3 0]

First topic posted, and I apologize ahead of time if I did something against the rules, haha.

 

I would like to have a more broad font selection on Paint.Net, and after doing a little research here, I've come to understand that I need to download the font, and then unzip it. I have absolutely NO Idea how to do that.

 

I would totally appreciate anyone who is willing to help me. Also, side note, my computer has Windows 8. I'm sure that doesn't change much, but the translation might be a little funky.

 

Thank you.

Paint.net uses the fonts you have installed to windows. All you have to do to install a font is to move the font file (should have the .ttf or .otf file extension) into the fonts folder (C:\Windows\Fonts)

Hi, I get most of my fonts from: http://www.dafont.com/

 

At the top of the site find the Help button.

Hope that helps you.

 

*Thank you Pdnnoob, I was just about to add that info to my post.

Thank you both! I got it to work, not sure how, but at least I understand it, haha.

 

And, thank you for showing me that website, Doughty.

"Paint.net uses the fonts you have installed to windows. "

It does not use an of three *.FNT"-Fonts, installed and shown in the Windows 10 Fonts list.
