For web development and design, a general understanding of font and and user experience of font is required for designing a visual interface.
Did you know? Most Barcodes, while not human-legible, are implemented and written using a standard font definition. See the tidbit at the end to check out some barcode fonts.
Installing a font is very simple. Here's a quick three step process.
Locate the font you wish to install. Here's a playful display font, Loki Cola. Download the zip file, extract it, and locate the .ttf file.
Right-click the file and select "Install" from the context menu. If you'd like to install it for all users, select "Install for all users."
That's it really! The font is now available as a system font.
- Open up a new window of the program where you'd like to use the font, for example Microsoft Word, and the font is available for selection. Note that most programs load systems fonts on program boot-up, so you will need to close previously open instances of the program, and open a new window.
