I can't figure out how to actually use free fonts from www.dafont.com . Does anyone know how, or have a better place to get free fonts? I'm desperate to try them for my DIY invites, so the more advice the merrier!
This is for a PC: ok click download next to the font you would like to use. Then click save. Save on the desktop. Open the folder on the desktop and click on the file ending in ttf- from the menu (should be on the left), click "extract". Again, save to desktop.
Now: Start button, settings, control panel, double click on the fonts folder and drag your new font (from the desktop) into this folder.
There may be an easier way, but this is how I always do it!
Dear Bees,

Thanks!
