Step 1. First you have to find a font that you like

If you don't want to pay for one, just Google "free fonts." You will find hundreds of pages to choose from.

Step 4. When the download is complete, you must unzip the source

To do so, simply click on the file. Because it is a WinRAR or ZIP file, WinRAR will automatically open to unzip the file. If you don't have WinRAR, you're going to have a little problem (but you can download WinRAR's 50-day trial version for free).

Step 5. When you open WinRAR, select your archive (by clicking on it) and then click on "Extract to" (at the top left of the window, next to "Add")

  • If you downloaded more than one font, click "Add" and select the other fonts you want to unzip.

It is probably difficult to find the correct folder to unzip the files, so just select "Desktop".

You should find the new fonts in "WordPad". (If you don't see them, you will most likely need to restart the program, if you opened it before downloading and unzipping the sources).
