Hi Sarah! Don't be embarrassed - it took me ages to find out too! I'm sending you a private message, as I'm not sure oif we're allowed to give out website addresses in the open forums.... Perhaps someone can let me know the protocol?

Installing and Removing Fonts in the Windows Font Folder

Although you can install and remove fonts from the Windows font folder, it is advisable to only install fonts that you use on a regular basis, or those required by Windows and other programs you installed in your computer. Windows has a limit on the number of fonts that you can install, which varies with versions of Windows.
To install a font in your computer:

Go to the Windows Control Panel.
Double click on Fonts. In Windows XP, you will find Fonts under the Appearance and Themes category.
On the File menu, click Install New Font.
Select the drive and folder that contains the fonts you want to install.
Select the font you want installed from the List of fonts. If you are installing more than one font, press and hold down the CTRL key and click on each font you want installed. Click on the OK button.
To remove a font from your computer:
Go to the Windows Control Panel.
Double click on Fonts. In Windows XP, you will find Fonts under the Appearance and Themes category.
Select the font you want to delete. If you intend to remove more than one font, press and hold down the CTRL key and click on each font you want removed.
Select Delete on the File menu.
Click on the Yes button in the delete font confirmation dialog box if you really wanted to delete the font. Otherwise, click on the No button.

HTH
