Help with Fonts

[oswegograd]

I need some help from you experts out there. I have a fairly new computer that doesn't have any of the fancy fonts I'd like to use in my layouts. How do I transfer them from my old computer? My old computer is run with XP and my new one is Vista.

Thanks!

You could copy the font files from the XP computer onto a jump drive; then on the Vista computer, install them from the jump drive.

I went from an XP to Vista. When I first got the Vista computer, all was well with loading fonts (dragging fonts into the computer's font folder), but then all of the sudden a font would no longer load. After weeks of frustration I finally found out that with Vista (or maybe it's windows in general), once you have 300ish fonts you can no longer add fonts with the drag on drop method. Now I install a font by right clicking on the ttf (font file) file and hit install. It's all done for me! Perhaps you all already knew this, but I didn't until I researched it! Good luck!
Oh, I also keep all my new fonts in a font folder and keep it with my scrapping stuff. This way my fonts get backed up regularly and it makes for an easier transfer to a new computer. HTH!

Thanks for the help...it worked like a charm and was so much easier than I thought it would be!
