Installing New Fonts in Windows 7

Installing fonts in almost every operating system developed by Microsoft has proved to be one of the easiest steps involved in customization of the operating systems as per the users’ personal requirements. Steps to install new fonts in legacy (older versions of operating systems) included downloading the desired font file from the internet opening Fonts folder either from Control Panel or by going to C:WindowsFonts and copying the newly downloaded font to the directory. Alternatively users could also install the fonts by choosing appropriate option from the File menu in Fonts folder. However with the introduction of new architecture of Windows Vista and Windows 7 installing a new font is even easier.
