How do i add new fonts that i've downloaded?

easy question.. sorry.
i downloaded a lot of freebies, now how do i install them to be ready to use in word?
thanks.

Hi, Danielle.
Actually, before using Font Book as suggested, you should set its preferences accordingly. This lets you specify whether you want fonts installed by default in your Home > Library > Fonts folder (User Collection) or the Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts folder (Computer Collection). This is important.
Fonts installed in the User collection are only available to your account. Fonts installed in the Computer collection are available to all user accounts on your Mac.
You can then use Font Book to preview a font you've downloaded and decide if you want to install it. Double clicking an uninstalled font presents you with a Preview. If you click Install, Font Book will then install it according to the settings you made in its preferences.
You can also use Font Book to validate new fonts before you install them. In Font Book, select File > Validate File..., then use the resulting navigation dialog to select the fonts you are thinking about installing. This prevents problems that might be caused by installing a corrupted or incompatible font. If you simply add the font to your Home > Library > Fonts folder as suggested earlier without first validating it, you could install a corrupted or incompatible font. Better to know the fonts are good first.
Good luck!

    How do I add new fonts I've downloaded to Microsoft Word? It's in my font book but not usable on MW.,

    Typical issue with Font Book.
    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.

  • How do i add new font to sap(smartform)

    hi, all!
    now, i have one thing to be solved!
    i'm using smartforms for developing form program.
    i can't find what i want to use new font in sap.
    so i added new font to sap using se73 t-code. but some are missing, for example i can't use bold...
    so, if anybody have these experience... tell me how to...
    best regards,
    gy cho.

    hi,
    For SE73, on screen
    There is a button 'True Type-Font Importian'.
    On pressing this button you will go to next screen.
    Give unique name of font and .ttf file of your computer.
    If you select Bold or Italic, select different font file respectivly.
    and Execute.
    Fonts are centralized for SAP.
    if you are not authorized to do cross-client activity, it will not allow you.
    Usually Basis Team does this for developers.

  • How can I add new fonts

    I have a program with nice fonts, but I haven´t been able to use it on my computer, how can I install them correctly?

    Andreamad, welcome, just drag the fonts to the HD/Library/Fonts folder. The fonts will now be available to activate in Applications/Font Book. There is also Font folder at User/username/Library/Fonts, these will be available for that particular user.
    Also, if you have activated Entourage, this time it is a good time to check that User/username/Library/Fonts folder. Be sure that you do not have duplicate fonts. The Entourage fonts should be in Application/Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive/Entourage/Office/Fonts. There is a bug in that software that will install them in both places when activated.

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

  • How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader

    How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader? I am using Acrobat Pro XI.

    It is possible. Add your text fields and in their Properties set them to have Rich Text Contents (under Options). This will allow the users to specify all kinds of formatting settings for those fields (by pressing Ctrl+E and using the Properties bar).

  • How can i add new jcomponent to a frame?

    hi.
    how can we add new component to a frame? look at this code. Why when i click on button, nothing added to frame? event handled correctly and frame size changes but no button adds to frame.
    private void convertButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    JButton newButton = new JButton("new");
    getContentPane().add(newButton , BorderLayout.CENTER);
    newButton.setVisible(true);
    setSize(500, 500);
    }

    Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
    Well typically you wouldn't add a button to the Center of a BorderLayout. If you really want to do this you should be using a [Card Layout|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html].
    In general the code for adding/removing components should be:
    panel.add(...)
    panel.revalidate();
    panel.repaint();

    I want to know how to create a new script that can be run in batch proces in Photoshop Element 11 ?

    Have a look at the menu file/process multiple files. You can choose to add your signature (or the caption) to the image and export the new files.
    If that solution is not flexible enough, consider using the very affordable (12$)  Elements+ add-on which offers a 'meta stamp' script :

    Otherwise, have a look at other free and good solutions like Faststone Photoresizer, Xnview...

  • How can I add new songs to the top (not the bottom) of my playlist in iTunes?

    How can I add new songs to the top of my playlist in iTunes?
    I thought thats what it did before but now it automatically adds new songs to the bottom of the list.
    Not a huge issue but an annoyance.

    Go to your Music library
    Then, Click Playlist
    Then, Click the sort arrow until it points down.

  • I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

    I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

    "it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
    Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to?  That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
    If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.
