Step-by-Step Guide to help you Install your fonts on your computer

Important!

• Make sure you are installing the desktop fonts and not webfonts. Fonts purchased for @font-face embedding cannot be installed as a desktop font. If you purchased both, you may be looking in the wrong folder.
• Zipped folders MUST be unzipped. Some Windows operating systems allow you to peek inside a zipped folder. This does not mean it is actually unzipped.

• Drag and Drop or Copy and Paste the unzipped fonts into the Fonts Manager to install.

Fonts can be installed in several folders in OS X, but we recommend that you do the following:

First, close any open applications. Newly installed fonts may not appear in your font menu if you ignore this step.

Install using Font Book:

• Double click the unzipped font file and Font Book will open a preview of the font.
• Click “Install Font” at the bottom of the preview.

Manually install:

• Open Finder and click the Go menu at the top of the screen.
• While in the Go menu, hold down both the Alt/Option and Shift keys on your keyboard to reveal the hidden link to the Library folder
• Navigate to your Fonts folder:
  /Users/Your_Username/Library/Fonts
• Drag and drop the unzipped font files into this folder.
