Installing a downloaded font

I purchased the font "Fette Fraktur" from the Adobe website several days ago, yet my account page still shows a message to the effect that my order is being processed and that it may take as much as 24 hours(!?). I hit the download button anyway and now have a file (17104860) in my downloads file.
Q: How do I install this file in my Windows fonts list? Whenever I have purchased fonts online from other vendors, they have automatically installed into Windows, so I'm afraid I don't know how to do it manually.
Please advise.

i'm not sure that's a font file. if it were, you would right click it and click install.

Installing a new font

How do I install a downloaded font so it can be used by Pages?

Fonts aren't components of applications but components of the System.
If you want it to be available from every user account, store the font in the folder :
Macintosh HD:Libraries:Fonts
If you want it to be available from a single account, store it in :
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Libraries:Fonts

I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

How to Use a Downloaded Font

How do I use a downloaded font with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007? The font is in a zip file. What I found on Google gave directions for Windows XP and I was able to find the font dialog box through the control panel, but there was no drop down file option (where I was supposed to be able to simply add the font), which is what all the sources told me to look for in Windows XP ... which doesn't really help for Windows 7. Please help!
Nothing I post is an official statment of Best Buy or Geek Squad, it is only a helpful opinion!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can help you out with this! Windows 7 has made it easy for us to do this!
1. Right click on Zipped file that you have.
2. Click extract here.
3. You should see another folder appear that is unzipped.
4. Open that folder and find the font file. (There are a few different types)
5. Right click the font file and choose the option "Install"
That should do it! ( You can also delete the 2 folders you are left with once it is installed)
Hope this helps!

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Laser Printer Not Saving Downloaded Fonts

Hi,
we have recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Laser Printer which needs to be used with a system that downloads fonts for correct style printouts. The problem I am having is the fonts download initially which is great, but they are not saved by the printer after 1 printout so the user is having to download the fonts everytime she wants to print something.
All other printers in the office are HP2055 and work as expected saving the fonts after the initial download. I have asked the support team of the application to have a look at the situation and they say everything is setup correctly so it may be an issue with the printer. Printer is installed on a Windows XP SP3 PC.
Firware version: 20121205 (15 Dec 2012)
Driver Version: 61.140.04.14138 (1 Jan 2013)
Any help would be appeciated, thanks.
Robert

If the downloaded soft fonts are definitely not being saved (despite the download presumably terminating with a 'make soft font permanent' escape sequence), then the problem must lie in the firmware - and the only resolution is if HP releases a new version with a fix.
To be certain about which PCL5 fonts are resident in the printer, you have presumably printed off a 'PCL5 Typeface List' via the relevant front panel menu (assuming this printer has one).
Or you could send the following direct to the printer to invoke that report:
<Esc>%-12345X@PJL COMMENT Print PCL Font List
@PJL DMINFO ASCIIHEX = "040004010105020402015E"
<Esc>%-12345X
where <Esc> represents the non-graphic) Escape control-code character (the character with decimal code 27, or hexadecimal 1B), and each PJL statement is terminated with a LineFeed control-code (decimal 10, hexadecimal 0A).
Assuming that the printer is USB-connected, you could send the contents of the file (name, say, testfile.prn) holding the above to the printer using the copy command in a command-prompt session:
copy /b testfile.prn \\computer-name\share-name
where:
computer-name is the name of the host workstation
share-name is a share name of the installed Windows printer instance.
I don't have access to your model of printer, but I do use a LaserJet Pro 400 Colour MFP 475dn (MFP equivalent of M451 printer), and this does appear to retain downloaded 'permanent' soft fonts - but only until the device goes into 'sleep' mode!
So it is probably a common 'fault' (or 'design decision'?) across this family (LJ Pro 400) of printers.

Installing type 1 font in Windows 7 - AWEFUL customer support

I purchased and installed Helvetica Bold Oblique font this morning and downloaded it to install on my computer. I have @600 fonts on my machine, so this isn't my first attempt at installing fonts, but it's certainly been the most annoying and it's exposed Adobe customer support as one of the most incompetent I've dealt with in decades. Let me preface this by saying I've had every version of Adobe Creative Suite software and use the products extensively, but this painfully simple issue of installing ONE FONT has got on my last nerve.
So, when attempting to install the font, it errors and provides the following feedback: The file is a 'PFB' file for a type 1 font and cannot be installed directly. Please install the associated 'PFM' file. I've downloaded the font files twice, and neither includes a 'PFM' file. There's a 'PFB' file and 'AFM' file, but no PFB file. I even tried installing the 'AFM' file, but no luck. After spending over an hour on the phone with a completely computer illiterate foreign support staffer, I'm at the end of my rope. She didn't know the first thing about Windows 7, and starts telling me to look for options that don't even exist in the operating system. I SIMPLY NEED TO INSTALL ONE FONT.
So, is there anyone that can help make this the simple 5 second operation that it should be? I'll have to ask for some latitude on the anger - I'm just blown away at how stupidly difficult this has become, when it should be as simple as flipping a light switch. Any help is much appreciated.
System:
3.2 Xeon Quad core
2x2 TB drives
2x1 TB drives
32 GB RAM
Nvidia Quadro 5600 display adapter
Windows 7 Ultimate
Adobe CS4 Master Collection

I'm sorry to hear about the frustration. I'm not using Windows 7 yet, but it does sound like its font installation process has changed. I did some searching and came up with a free utility to convert the AFM and INF files that come with Type 1 fonts to the PFM file that is needed (along with the actual PFB font file).
The utility is called AfmToPFM and can be found on this site: http://www.proximasoftware.com/download.htm (direct link at http://www.proximasoftware.com/afmtopfm/)
I have never tried it, but I did see a couple of references to it being the solution for installing Type 1 fonts into Windows 7.

Why do downloaded fonts not work in photoshop elements 10 but work fine in other applications?

Having trouble with downloaded fonts in adobe photoshop elements 10. Can anyone suggest how to fix this problem? The font does not show detail (all filled in black) in elements but is perfectly fine in other applications on my mac.

PSE simply uses the system fonts. Have you installed the font in the default location?
Are you using a small font size on a large resolution image?

Thanks but I should explain:
I work at a university, there is a template for door signeage that I have downloaded from the uni website – the fonts are included but when I try to install them using Microsoft office it just doesn’t let me?
Is there a preffered process? Thanks so much for your help

Problems installing Sonata Std font for use in Word 2011 for Mac

I just purchased and installed Sonata Std font (downloaded from the Adobe website) for use on my 2009 MacBook, running OSX 5.8. I'm trying to use the font in MS Word for Mac 2011. Sonata Std is now showing up in the list of available fonts within Word, but when I select the font and go to type in characters within the font (such as flat and sharp signs, using the proper keystrokes), the characters are not displaying correctly (not at all, in fact — I get a series of boxy-looking glyphs rather than proper music accidentals). Are there any additional steps that I need to do in order to install the font and get it to work properly in Word?

What are your language & region settings? Have you tried inserting those characters via your keyboard/ charmap utility? What is your default language/ encoding/ compatibility setting in Word? Definitely some sort of Unicode issue...

[SOLVED] Help Required Installing True Type Fonts

I am currently using Xfce4.8 and have installed xorg-fonts-100dpi xorg-fonts-75dpi and type 1 fonts.
Now the fonts in xfce are starting to look good, menu fonts on firefox look good but many webpages
are using ugly non aliased fonts.
I would like to include the ttf-ms-fonts and have found the folowing wiki page:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13030
I have installed the dependemcies
fontconfig xorg-font-utils xorg-fonts-encodings
and also just one font:

I am unsure how to install the verdana font so any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Thanks Guys, I am now having trouble with makepkg
I have unzipp ttf-ms-fonts
[anc@orac ttf-ms-fonts]$ ls
LICENSE PKGBUILD ttf-ms-fonts.install
When I run makepkg this error appears:
[anc@orac ttf-ms-fonts]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: Fakeroot must be installed if using the 'fakeroot' option
in the BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf.
So I check contents of /etc/makepkg.conf
--snip--
# BUILD ENVIRONMENT
# Defaults: BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check)
# A negated environment option will do the opposite of the comments below.
#-- fakeroot: Allow building packages as a non-root user
#-- distcc: Use the Distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler
#-- color: Colorize output messages
#-- ccache: Use ccache to cache compilation
#-- check: Run the check() function if present in the PKGBUILD
BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check)
#-- If using DistCC, your MAKEFLAGS will also need modification. In addition,
#-- specify a space-delimited list of hosts running in the DistCC cluster.
#DISTCC_HOSTS=""
This looks as though option fakeroot is enabled, is there anything else I need to change?

How to install Type 1 fonts into JRE?

I am trying to generate Type 1 font postscript file by java. And I have successfully installed Type 1 fonts in both Windows and Linux operation system. But when I use following Java code to display the available system fonts, there are no Type 1 fonts displayed.
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
Font[] fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
for (int i = 0, length = fonts.length; i < length; i++) {
System.out.println(fonts.getName());
Then I copied all the Type 1 fonts to JRE/lib/fonts dir and modified the fonts.dir to append Type 1 fonts information. But preceding java code returns the same result to me, also no Type 1 fonts displayed.
How can I install Type 1 fonts into JRE?
Thanks!

Thank you Jeff.
Welcome to the forum McDermottPhotography,
You will need to download and install the ttf (true type font again) on your new machine. I am not sure if the following is the font that you are referring to, but here is one named similiarly http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Chisel+Thin+Normal/.

Downloaded font in Illustrator

Hello,
I recently got a new computer and transferred the programs and license to the new computer. I installed some new fonts from a free online source for personal use. Illustrator recognizes that they are installed when I search in the character box, but does not change to that font when selected. It also does not show up in the drop down font tab. Any ideas on how to fix this and get my downloaded fonts working again?

You have not provided any system info and otehr details, so we can't know. And chances are that one of your free fonts is simply busted and messes up the font system as a whole e.g. by using the same internal font name as another font or being designed poorly and not rendering correctly. Same old, same old, really...
