Cannot install a new font in Win7 Home Prem following recommended procedure

Display of a previous query that says to click with the right button in the folder fonts... etc.

When I right click in the folder fonts, I don't get the opportunity to 'add fonts '.  All I get is a menu drop-down:

View
Sort by
Group By
Discount
... (grayed out options)
Undo Rename

I am the only user on my lapto Toshiba and the administrator.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hello RAGerle,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

1. you can download fonts for Windows software, Internet, or from another file. If its in zip format then unzip it.

2. right click on it and then click on install

3. on the general tab, you will see a button to unlock, click (skip this step if there is no button to unlock.

4. now for the installation you can double-click on the police and install it or you can install a font by dragging in the fonts in Control Panel.

If a program is open when you install a font, the program cannot save the police. Try closing and reopening the program.

Please answer back with an update and let us know if this helped with your question.

Sincerely,

  • Cannot install a new font

    I can't install a new font through fonts in Control Panel because I do not see 'install new font' when I click on the file. Pressing the ALT key doesn't help either.

    I use Windows7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    There are several ways to add fonts to Windows 7. It's only one.

    If the font file is in the format of open Type or TrueType, it will have a .otf or .ttf file name extensopn

    1. Create a folder on the root by a name. For example, c:\Zfont
    2. By any means convenient, place a copy of the font files in the directory.
    3. Navigate to the new directory and highlight all the names of those you want to install.
    4. Right mouse click on highlighted names.
    5. Choose Install from the pop-up menu.

    Follow the prompts on the screen.

    If the font is in PostScript Type 1 format, it can be installed easily if you boh the .pfm and pair of .pfb for police files. It's just a bit of a pain if you rather, .pfb and .afm and possibly the .inf files.

    Let us know.

    Note that if I download online in Microsoft Site its showing me the details below:

    The product key you have entered seems to be for software pre-installed by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the device for soft recovery options.

    Hello

    It is not a download link for your OEM license.

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys of proceeds of sale retail not OEM preinstalled (Acer, Dell, HP, etc.), product keys that you already discovered by that you have received the message.

    As you have a preinstalled OEM license (Acer), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they must provide for a fee, if they yet; with Acer is very doubtful...

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

    Why you do not upgrade Windows 7 Professional at 10 instead of reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium and upgrade that?

    See you soon.

  • Elements 9 How do I install a new font

    I have photoshop elements 9 and wonder how to install a new font.  I installed a new font in my Windows system, but elements do not pick it up.

    I downloaded and installed the fonts you mention. I was able to find it in the list of fonts within Photoshop Elements, however, it does not appear in the list in alphabetical order. This is the way down at the bottom together with some Japanese fonts. This has something to do with the way in which the police is coded.

    Try this, instead of seeking to "batang" on the list of fonts, simply type in the name of the police at the top of the list:

  • Satellite P100-347 - cannot install the new VAP

    When you use the Flash cards they still "spoil" i.e. blurring and basically they are unusauable. I went on the site of toshiba and downloaded the latest package of added value.

    However, when I run the Setup it says its already installed and I should remove in Add/Remove Programs (Control Panel). However, it is nowhere to be seen in the list and ive also studied on ccleaner and advanced unistaller pro. There is no way that I can remove the old... so I can't install a new!

  • Installed a new button from the home screen, I shouldn't have to update software?

    Hello

    My home screen button and screen had cracked and I've just fixed. I was told by the repair iphone specialist do not update my phone more because the phone could brick because of the new button on the home screen that has installed.

    My impression fingerprint sensor works now more for the phone this new button.

    With an update, a software update will brick my phone? I'm on version 9.2.

    Thank you

    Unless your screen was repaired by Apple or an Apple authorized repair center, it will not work properly again. The ID of touch will not work. At this point, so you should not try to update of iOS, as this will brick your phone.
