how do you upload a font from a site..this one inparticular dafont.com to illustrator

Ok well im guessing your english is not very good, from another country? Welcome to the GDF!

When you download the font from dafont it will be in a zip file, you need to unzip it (right click>expand) it will then give you a .TTF file or other font format. If you have a font program like Extensis or Adobe Type Manager then you need to put the TTF file in the font folder you have assigned with those programs.

If you don't have a font folder, and you are on windows, you need to locate the default font folder for windows. To do that you go to C:>Windows>Fonts then just put the TTF in that folder and you are good to go.

Anyone else wanna chime in with Mac help go for it.

If you don't have a font program like Extensis or FontBook on a mac, then load it directly to your HD.

Macintosh HD > Users > Your_User_Name > Library > Fonts.

Although don't load too many fonts in there, it will severely bog down your computer upon start up or when starting up/loading a program. It has to load ALL those fonts and could take FOREVER (trust me... :p )!

Here's a question...related to the fonts and too many of them on the computer; is there a way to tell which are the originals and which ones are downloaded. I should have told my kids that Arial and comic sans were their only choices.:eek::D

Look at the create/modified date? All of my original fonts have the same install date, all other were added. :)

Well, now if that isn't smart. Oh boy...red faced here!
