How to install fonts from net

How do you install fonts from the net as the windows installer will only install them onto Word and I want them in PSE10

>windows installer
1-Windows puts fonts in a common fonts folder... which makes the fonts available to ALL software... at least if they are "correct" fonts (such as TrueType)
2-for Windows help search at http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US

How to install fonts from CS3 into CS5?

At work I often need the font DIN which was installed with our version CS3. At home I have CS5 and I do not know how to install the needed fonts. I packed the relevant file with the fonts and other links into a directory but how can I install the fonts at my personal computer using Windows. When using a Mac it was quite easy to install the font, I just click at the font within the directory "fonts" and with another click on "install" I got the font. My PC however asks me which programme I want the file to open with - but which one should it be? It can't be Word, Photoshop, IrfanView or whatever. So what do I do? Can anybody please help me?

Well.. there are many different kinds of font files out there. Some of them advertise the type of font in the filename, e.g.
DINBold.otf
DINBold.ttf
DINBold.pfm
DIN.dfont
DIN.ttc
and so on.
Others, typically Mac fonts, don't have a file extension that tells us what kind of file it is. Of those Mac fonts, there's one kind that you can't use on Windows at all, because when you look at it in Windows the size is zero kilobytes. The fact that, at some point in the past, you moved a file from Mac to Windows without font problems does not make a platform-compatibility problem any more or less likely - perhaps it was all set in fonts you already had installed at home. The fact that right now it doesn't work in the Document Fonts folder makes me believe that you may have a Mac font resource fork problem - that's what would make the filesize 0k. If your fonts don't have file extensions (or if you have file extensions hidden by Windows, which is the way Win7 works by default) then you can't really know what kind of font file it is. Looking at the Properties of the font file will tell you, though.
Lastly: since you don't own an (extra) license for the font, you'd be ripping off the font developers by installing it on your home computer, although obviously not intentionally.

HOW to install fonts from rpm/tar.gz (ec-fonts-mftraced)

Hey all.
I'm trying to install a music program called Lilypond, for my girlfriend, as an example of how easy (heh) linux is to use.
Now, to use this particular version, I need to install some fonts. ec-fonts-mftraced, to be exact.
The Lilypond site provides downloads for the fonts here
There is an rpm, deb, and tar.gz version, none of which I've managed to install from. I've tried using
rpmunpack | gzip -d | cpio -uid
as (kind of) per the instructions:
EC-FONTS-MFTRACED
GNU LilyPond 2.3.x needs TeX (if you are using the TeX backend) and
PostScript Type1 PFA/PFB fonts with full internationalisation support.
By default, LilyPond uses the ec* family.
INSTALLING EC FONTS
The binany RPM and DEB packages should be installable on any RPM or
DEB based system.
If you do not have such a system, install either
* the RPM, like so
rpm2cpio ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.2-1.noarch.rpm | cpio -uid
mktexlsr
* or the DEB,
ar p ec-fonts-mftraced_1.0.2-1_all.deb data.tar.gz | tar zxf -
mktexlsr
BUILDING FROM SOURCE
cvs -d :ext:[email protected]:/cvsroot/lilypond co sauter-fonts-mtraced
cd sauter-fonts-mtraced
make all install
mktexlsr
I can't get anything to work though, nor can I install the fonts thru KDE control centre.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Much appreciated,
Thom.

You need t1utils (an easy compile), potrace (or autotrace), tetex, and python so you can compile mftrace.
mftrace PKGBUILD is at the bottom of http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=6450
Then you need to:
cd /usr/share/mftrace/
import filelib
Here's the PKGBUILD for ec-fonts-mftraced:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=6451
Fontforge I think helps it compile faster (??)
All of the above-mentioned packages that aren't available via pacman have been uploaded to ftp.archlinux.org/incoming

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion?

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion? Thanks!

although I believe I *have* used the .suit extension when I was creating suitcase files for TrueType fonts.
You can get away with that because you haven't really changed anything. It's already a suitcase file, with a Type code of FFIL (the Creator code is mostly irrelevant). Adding .suit still tells the OS it's a suitcase.
However, if you do something silly like change the Type code to LWFN (the outline portion of a PST1 set), then neither Font Book, or any other font manager knows what to do with it. It's recognizing the LWFN code, but the data structure of course doesn't match. The file is still a Mac legacy TrueType font. Suitcase Fusion 5 tosses this on the screen when I change the Type code to the wrong one:
Changing the extension to something obviously wrong, like .otf produces the same message. It's trying to parse the data according to what the extension says it is, and nothing lines up.
Trying to use .ttf or .ttc also doesn't work. A Mac legacy suitcase TrueType font is not built the same as a .ttf or .ttc font. Either is technically correct (it is a TrueType font), but that's the only similarity. What's happening in that case is Mac legacy TT fonts have all of the data in the resource fork. When you add .ttf or .ttc to the name, the OS and any font manager then tries to find the data in the data fork. Nothing there.

Use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to a blank partition, then use the Startup Disk preferences pane to reboot from that partition. Why not just install from the DVD, though?

How can install fonts in the new version of Pages? Como instalo fuentes en la nueva versión de Pages?

Hi All there:
I can´t belive it, but the new version of Pages (5.0), is very very different than the old version, fonts, templates and others stuffs can´t work.
Please, what can we do . . . We need read the manual, or that situation is for the changes and you work in there?
Comment please, we need your help.
PS. How can install fonts (fonts presents in the old version) for the new version?
Hola a todos:
No puedo creerlo, pero la nueva versión de Pages (5.0), es muy muy diferente a la versión anterior, fuentes, plantillas, formatos y otras cosas no funcionan en la nueva versión.
Por favor, que podemos hacer... Necesitamos leer el manual, o eta situación es por los cambios y están trabajando en ello?
Comenten por favor, necesitamos su ayuda.
PD. Como instalo fuentes (fuentes presentes en la verrsión anterior) para la nueva versión?

Yes Pages 5 is very different and has many features and templates missing.
You do not install fonts in Pages, you install them in the System. Purchase/Download them and double click on them to install.
The manual for Pages 5 is online. Click on the link under the Help menu.

How remove embedded font from PDF

When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

Help! forgot how to install fonts

I forgot how to install fonts in 10.3.9. Using Fontbook 1.0.2. The Help files tell me to open Fontbook>File>install. My Version shows File>add fonts. Doesn't do it. Can I still drag fonts to closed fonts folder?
Since the fonts were sent e-mail by a client to use on the job, unzipping gave me little black screen icons (look like little, tiny gray screens with OSX in the corner). Is this why they won't work? Did zipping them corrupt them?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
astromonkey

hi,
i had this same scenario before.
unzipping gave you little black screen icons? you can try adding extensions to their file names like the usual fonts.
or do they have 0kb size? if then, something went wrong in the zipping process.
hope this helps

how to install software from imac to macbook pro

Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.
