Installing OpenType, TrueType Fonts in Windows Vista:

The procedure is pretty much the same as you have under Windows XP, but in Windows Vista, you can do it different ways, and they are a lot easier.

The most trouble-free way is to select and right click the Font(s) you would like to install and select “Install” from the context menu that appears. Your font(s) will be installed if it is the correct version for Windows Vista. It will confirm your acceptance by asking you via the user account control pop -up window. So, simply click “Continue” and you are done.

The other way is to open the Control panel, switch it to the Classic view by clicking the “Classic View” button on the left top corner of the Control Panel Window. Then, open “Fonts” folder and right click on an empty space within its right pan where the fonts are listed. Install New Fonts… the context menu will appear. Click on it and afterward browse to “Fonts” folder for the fonts you want to install and click “Install” button after selecting from the available fonts’ list. Now, you are done!
