You download the font..
You have to have a win rar program or 7-zip to extract the font
Go to control Panel, then fonts
put the extracted file in you fonts folder, you font should appear everywhere there is a option to have font,
not just GIMP

Just a hint.
If you already have Gimp open when you install the font you will need to restart the program

Actually you don't have to restart it all you have to do is Open the Font Selection Dialog and Rescan, it takes about a minute but then your new font will be added to the list without having to restart Gimp.

Yes, but sometimes that freezes GIMP and if you haven't saved your work you're pretty much screwed because it will automatically ask to close it without a chance to save.

I think all the studying I've been doing has made me computer illiterate but where is the control panel? Is that the start button. (I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed when someone answers me.)

There should be a link in the start button, yeah But I'm guessing you found it already?

C&P Or you can right click the font and it might have an option to install.

XP and C&P isn't working. I have to copy to and I can't find the Fonts Folder in any of my sections.Patricia Rogers said:

Right click the folder of the font > Extract All Files > Copy ( C
Windows\Fonts ) into the search bar and click next or extract at the bottom of the screen.
That should work.

There isn't an Extract All Files section:

The option at the top... Go into that and there should be an 'extract all' (or something of the like) in there.

dl this, install it, after that right click the zipped font, select 7-zip there should be an option that says extract here. press that and the file should just appear in the location you're in at that moment.
