Once the font is installed on your system, you should be able to change the font of your text in any text editing program. Instead, you will have to get a program like Adobe Type Manager, and use it to add fonts to your system. If you already have too many fonts on your computer, or you have an older operating system, these won't work. Another method is to go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Fonts, then go to File > Install New Font. If you have Windows, You can usually just copy the font into your c:\windows\font\ directory and it will install automatically. The basic idea is to download the zip file and unzip the font. Getting a font to work can be a little tricky. Most of these fonts require a PC and True Type font support. I have available here fonts that will make text look the same as it does in some of the Zelda games.
Fonts allow you to change the appearance of typed text.
