\"Fonts\"<\/a>Back in the 90’s with Windows, it wasn’t particularly easy to install new fonts. \u00a0There were many different types of fonts for many different machines and the only way to really test whether it would work on your computer or with your version of Windows was to download them, follow the instructions, cross your fingers and try them out. \u00a0There was also the issues of fonts looking different on different computers, not being available on other computers and not many quality fonts around.<\/p>\n

Now, in 2012, many of these problems have gone away. \u00a0You’ll recall that previously downloading fonts involved a lot of dragging and dropping and customising settings. \u00a0That’s before even considering the problems surrounding getting the fonts to work in the necessary programs.<\/p>\n

Well, Mac OS X makes this really easy for us. \u00a0Fonts are most definitely now plug and play. \u00a0Don’t go searching for over complicated ways of installing them, just follow these simple instructions and your new fonts should be working perfectly.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Find the font you want. \u00a0This is kinda obvious! \u00a0There are many good resources available on the Internet, with a number of free ones too. \u00a0You can try a Google search<\/a>\u00a0or some of these websites:<\/p>\n
