How do I use new fonts?
I've downloaded a few new fonts from the internet. I've unzipped them. How do I use them in instant messaging? (e.g. Yahoo or MSN Messenger)

Thanks.

Click the Fonts Control Panel applet and register them with the system. But others can't see your fonts unless they also have them installed.

I you want to try out the fonts and NOT install then you can do that too.
You have to open the font file and keep it open and then it will show up in the font list of what ever program your using. But you have to keep the font file open.
I have lots of added fonts I use now and then but are not installed and I keep them in another "Other Fonts" folder and when I need them I just open the file of that font.
