Find the downloaded font

For this example I’m going to assume you’ve found a font you want, you can use a number of sites such as 1001 fonts or Font space to find free fonts.

I’m going to install the font ‘Sunny Spells‘, so first off you want to go and find it in your downloads, it may or may not be in a zip file.

Just double click on it to open it. Some fonts may not be saved in a zip file in which case you can skip this and go to the next step.
