 Just download that link and either use the installer (exe file) or just drop the font file right into your windows/fonts folder. Then edit your profile and select the other skin and you'll see the new font. |

Yuck warning: Don't use this font if you don't have cleartype or equivalent smoothing turned on. This font looks GREAT with smoothing on, it looks like a pile of crap without smoothing.
FYI: Font smoothing is what keeps the letters from looking pixelated and from having "stairsteps" in all diagonal lines.
If you don't know how to turn cleartype on, the following is instructions for XP:
To turn cleartype on, right click your desktop (not on an icon or the text for an icon, but in a blank area, provided you actually have blank area left on your desktop LOL), and select properties. Now go to Appearance, effects, and make sure "use the following method to smooth the edges of screen fonts" is checked and that the method used is ClearType.

I've been using it since I found the font, which was just earlier today. It has been hard finding a distinctive-but-legible FREE font. I can always find some legible really plain fonts, but then I might as well use one of the standard windows ones. It certainly was a nice find.  I'm glad you like it too. |

I found a "Mortal Kombat 3" font and one that looks like pencil writing called Child's Play. The MK3 one isn't as annoying as it might seem to imagine. I use the Child's Play one for journaling. Kind of nostalgic. That's funny.

Sounds like it might be cool for those purposes There are a lot of great fonts out there. I have so many, it's insane--I think I have about 1,800 fonts installed on my system. |
