I showed the lesson how to install downloaded fonts in windows. For some reason, many people decided that such fonts can only be used in Photoshop, which of course is not the case. They can be used for headings, text, and decoration.
These inscriptions are written in the downloaded font, BUT I translated them into a drawing so that they would be visible to everyone. I write ordinary text in exactly the same font. BUT ATTENTION! They will be visible only to those WHO INSTALLED SUCH FONTS INTO THEIR SYSTEM. Those who do not have these fonts installed will see plain text.

welcome to my blog
And by popular demand I am making a more detailed one, step by step lesson with examples on how to DOWNLOAD and INSTALL such fonts on your computer. Let's go LET'S GO TO THIS SITE, where there are many original Russian fonts that are easy to download and install.
I choose the font that I want to download. I take the very first one.
The font was downloaded automatically to the DOWNLOADS folder.
Who does not know where this folder is, then in the boot window that has jumped up, we get up with the mouse on the LAST DOWNLOADED FILE, and press the RIGHT BUTTON, and select OPEN THE FOLDER WITH FILES. It will open to you immediately. (You can drag the font to the desired folder and directly from the download.) 
I have created on my computer special folder with fonts, from which I usually put them in the system. It is very convenient, you do not need to write the path every time. (You can install directly from your downloads folder.)
Therefore, from the DOWNLOADS folder, I drag THIS DOWNLOADED FONT into my FONTS folder. I just open both folders next to it, take the downloaded file with the mouse and without releasing the mouse button (left) drag it into the FONTS folder.
The font is now in my folder, but it is packed into an archive, so I unpack it. To do this, I stand on the packed file with the mouse, press the RIGHT mouse button and select EXTRACT TO THE CURRENT FOLDER
The file is unpacked. And we got a font and a picture of what this font looks like. Now the archive and the picture can be deleted so that they do not interfere (what is in the blue frame)
You can immediately download several fonts you like, for example, I download two more, the next, I also transfer them to my folder, unpack. This is what the folder looks like before installation. I removed the excess installed fonts in a separate folder, and three downloaded new ones are still standing. You don't have to delete unnecessary things; it won't hurt you when installing fonts. 
That's it, now the font can be installed as described in the PREVIOUS POST
Click "Start" - "Settings" - "Control Panel".
Now ATTENTION. Since we need the FONTS folder, we need to switch to the CLASSIC VIEW.
ATTENTION! Who has old system, and there is no switching to the classic view, then we do this. We press the VIEW, in it we select the OVERVIEW PANELS and in them we look for the FOLDERS. 
An additional panel opens on the left. Find the folder with fonts
Well, in it we install our fonts from the folder. Click - "File" - "Install fonts".
In the tab that opens, select the path to the folder with your downloaded fonts. I have it on disk "C" - folder "FONTS" - 1. Double click on the folder where your fonts are located, and see how they appear in the upper window. We have three fonts in the folder, and they are all reflected. Then just click on the "Select All" button, and click "OK"
That's it, the installation is complete and the fonts are on your system. How to use them in your notes, design, and more, I will tell you in the next lesson. Good luck with your creativity.

The font is an integral part of web design, gives the site expressiveness and recognizability, expresses the characteristic style of the site and is directly related to the perception of texts. A well-chosen font may not be noticed, but without it there will be no zest that completes the website design.
If you already have a specific font installed on your computer, then in the styles it is enough to add a line.
h1 (font-family: SuperPuperFont;)
The font-family property value is the name of the typeface, it will be applied to all headings
... But what will site visitors see if they don't have our spectacular and rare font installed? This situation is most likely, so if the browser does not recognize the declared font, it will use the default font, for example in Windows it is Times New Roman. All of our carefully thought-out type design will crumble overnight, so we need to look for the most one-stop solution... The first thing that immediately comes to mind is to organize the download of the font file to the user's computer and display the text in the selected font. Compared to other methods such as displaying text through a picture, this method is the simplest and most versatile.
What are the advantages of downloading a font file and then applying it through CSS.
- The text is easy to add and edit.
- In the browser, you can use the search and find the desired phrases.
- In the browser settings, you can decrease or increase the font size to achieve a comfortable viewing.
- Search engines indexes document content well.
- The text can be selected and copied to the clipboard, as well as translated into another language.
- Text parameters like line spacing, color, size and the like are easy to change using CSS properties.
- Again, through CSS, you can simply add different effects to the text, for example, a shadow.
As you can see, there are many advantages. There are some minor downsides and are worth mentioning for balance.
- Not all browser versions support the downloadable font and the same format for all.
- The file containing the typeface can be large, thus slowing down the loading of the web page.
Table 1 lists the browser versions and the font formats they support.
| Format | Internet Explorer | Chrome | Opera | Safari | Firefox | Android | iOS |
| TTF | 9.0+ | 4.0+ | 10.0+ | 3.1+ | 3.5+ | 2.2+ | |
| EOT | 5.0-8.0 | ||||||
| WOFF | 9.0+ | 5.0+ | 3.6+ | ||||
| SVG | 1.0+ | 9.0+ | 3.1+ | 3.5+ | 1.0+ |
The most supported format is TTF. With the exception of IE up to version 9.0 and iOS, all browsers understand it perfectly. So if you have a font in this format and you are targeting modern browsers, you won't have to do any additional steps. It is enough to write the following code in styles (example 1).
Example 1. Connecting TTF
HTML5 CSS3 IE 8 IE 9+ Cr Op Sa Fx
First, load the font file itself using the @ font-face rule. Inside it, we write the name of the typeface using the font-family parameter and the path to the file using src. Next we use the font as usual. So, if we need to set the heading font, then for the h1 selector, as shown in the example, we set the font-family property with the name of the loaded font. For older versions of IE, we list fallbacks separated by commas. In this case, the title font will be "Comic Sans MS" because IE8 and below do not support TTF format.
Result this example shown in fig. 1.
Figure: 1. Heading with downloaded font
What if you need an ornate font in IE8? Fortunately, @ font-face allows you to include multiple font files at the same time. different formats... The browser only has to choose the appropriate one. Thus, a universal solution that works in all browsers boils down to converting the existing TTF format to EOT and then connecting both files.
There are several online conversion services that allow you to download a TTF file and get an EOT file as output. Unfortunately, most of these services have the same problem - we receive the file, but the Russian language is not supported in it. Eventually desired result is not achieved, the conversion is incorrect. Among the sites I checked, there was one that showed the text correctly in IE.
Go to this site, download the TTF file and press the "Convert TTF to EOT" button, after which we save the resulting file to the fonts folder. There is a little trick left in the styles to make different browsers load font to desired format... To do this, add two src parameters. The first one points to the EOT file and is for older versions of IE. The second src parameter must contain two addresses separated by commas, one of them points to the TTF file. The fact is that IE version 8.0 and earlier does not understand the comma in the src parameter and, accordingly, will ignore the parameter entirely. There can be several spelling options, for example, repeat url, specify the font name inside the local parameter, or write a nonexistent font altogether. If the browser cannot load such a font, then it will go to the second in the list, and we have it written correctly. Acceptable ways of writing.
src: url (fonts / pompadur.ttf), url (fonts / pompadur.ttf);
src: local (pompadur), url (fonts / pompadur.ttf);
src: local ("bla bla"), url (fonts / pompadur.ttf);
A working option for connecting a font for all versions of browsers is shown in example 2.

A modern element of the political process
In fact, the political teaching of Montesquieu leads the continental-European type of political culture, which was reflected in the works of Michels.
As for iOS, it doesn't seem to make much sense to me to create and download a separate font in SVG format. The audience of sites viewing it through iOS is still small, besides, the version of the site is under mobile devices are trying to make it easier, and it is not advisable to download an additional several tens of kilobytes.
Google Web Fonts
A convenient service that takes on the routine of supporting different font formats and browser versions can be found at www.google.com/webfonts ... Although there are relatively few different fonts in the collection (there are several dozen of them), all of them are very high quality and free for use on sites.
Before choosing a font, switch the Script value to Cyrillic, then you will see a list of fonts that support the Russian language (Fig. 2).
Figure: 2. Selecting fonts in Google Web Fonts
The font you like should first be added to the collection by clicking on the "Add to Collection" button, and then on the "Use" button in the lower right corner of the screen. On the next page (Fig. 3) you can finally select the fonts you need. It should be understood that a typeface can contain several styles, and each of them increases the volume of downloaded files.
Figure: 3. Fonts loaded on the page
You can connect the selected fonts in one of three ways; the added code can be copied down the page.
1. Through the element ... The line will look something like the following.
2. Through the @import rule. We insert this line into our CSS file at the very top.
@import url (http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family\u003dPhilosopher&subset\u003dcyrillic);
3. Through JavaScript.
Basically, all paths are equal, so choose according to your preference.
Application advantages this service such.
- The fonts are free to use, you don't need to pay for them.
- The offered fonts are "sharpened" for viewing on the screen, the files are optimized and take up a relatively small volume.
- The browser is detected automatically and a font in the required format is displayed for it.
One of the main advantages of the service is that fonts are stored in TTF, EOT, WOFF, SVG formats and loaded after checking the browser. So, the EOT format will only be available for older versions of IE.
Whether or not to use Google Web Fonts is up to you. If you haven't found a suitable font there, you can always connect the popular and widespread TTF. Moreover, it is supported latest versions all popular browsers.
If you have a font on your computer that you want to use, then all you need to do is install the font in Windows. After that, it will be available in any program, be it Photoshop, Sony Vegas or any other program that uses fonts.
To install the font, you need to click "Start / Control Panel". If you entered the control panel for the first time, then the window will look like this (Fig. 1):
Figure 1. Panel windows management XP.
Now in the "Control Panel" window (classic view), find the "Fonts" icon (Fig. 2) and click on it. A window will open in which all the fonts installed in Windows are located.
Figure 2. Fonts in Control Panel Windows XP Control Panel.
However, an easier way is to simply copy the required fonts to the "Fonts" folder using the explorer (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Installing a new font in Windows XP.
Installing fonts in Windows 7.
Installing fonts in Windows 7 is almost no different from installing in Windows XP, except that appearance... As in the first case, we need to click "Start / Control Panel". In the window that opens, you need to click "Category" (Fig. 4) and select "Large icons".
Figure 4. Windows 7 Control Panel.
Then find the "Fonts" icon (Fig. 5) open it, and by simply copying the fonts into this folder - install new fonts in Windows 7.

How to download Russian fonts
And so in order to install new fonts on your computer, you must first take them somewhere. There are many fonts on the Internet, but to find those that support the Russian language, the request should look like this: "Russian fonts" (you can add the word download), or "Cyrillic fonts".
While searching for fonts, you can find sites where you can see how it looks before downloading a font. I find this option the most convenient and I advise you to look for just such sites (Fig. 6).
Figure 6. Font preview before downloading
But there is another option, it is to download fonts in whole collections, for example "2000 Russian fonts in one archive." It seems that this option is much more convenient since you do not need to search for fonts one at a time. However, as practice shows, after downloading such a package of fonts, most users “do not bother” and install all these fonts into the system.
Thus, firstly, they create additional load on the system, which can significantly affect overall performance.
Secondly, it becomes much more difficult to search for the desired font, among so many.
And thirdly, I personally doubt that anyone will use all these fonts in their work.
Therefore, if you download so many fonts, then it is better to install only those of them that you definitely need.
To see what the font looks like before installing it, you need to open it with notepad, which takes a lot of time. That is why I once again advise you to download the fonts one at a time, carefully choosing only the ones you need.
And most importantly, do not forget that the font, first of all, should be “readable”, and then beautiful.
Font Is a graphical form of signs of the alphabetical writing system. That is, the font is not the letters themselves, but their design. It can be bold, oblique, elongated, handwritten, square, rounded, and whatever else it cannot be. Do not confuse with. In the latter case, it is a means of drawing letters and editing them.
By installing on your computer operating system (OS), it already has a whole arsenal of fonts. Basically, these are those that the OS itself uses for its design, as well as a number of standard ones that have become generally accepted, such as Times New Roman and Arial. If you have used any product from Adobe, then a large set of fonts from that company will be automatically installed. Any other computer applications can add to your font library as well.
In the end, what the OS offered is not enough, especially when dealing with design and graphics. Here you are, if you have installed Photoshop, this already means that you need to search and install new fonts. And now I will teach you how to do it.
When looking for new fonts, it's important to pay attention to how they support cyrillic, i.e. Russian language. Here difficulties and disappointments will arise, because the situation has developed in such a way that the number of Russian speakers is ten times less. And among the English ones there are such cool ones that they just drool, but they cannot be used for a Russian-language text.
Installation instructions for fonts
In general, they are not installed in a specific program. For example, Photoshop has access to a shared font library. This means that those that are installed in the OS itself, they will also be displayed in Photoshop. Therefore, the main task is to be able to open the library and add your favorite fonts there..
Let's assume you've found a suitable one. It must be in otf or ttf format and has the following design:
Please note, if it supports Cyrillic, then the preview will show three Russian letters "Abf". Also, by letters you can understand how its style looks.
So, here's how to install:
1 STEP
Click on right click by file and select Copy from the drop-down menu.
2 STEP
Open the font library. It is in the folder Windows - Fonts... Typically, the address bar looks like this: C: \\ Windows \\ Fonts.
3 STEP
Click on any free space within open window right-click and select Paste from the drop-down list. A short installation will start.
DONE!
Everything is installed. Open any program, be it photoshop, or, for example, a text editor. Most importantly, remember the name of the font in order to find it from the list.
If you spot an error in the text, select it and press Ctrl + Enter. Thanks!

The fonts are lightweight, so they download quickly. We find the archive with the font on the desktop. Now let's see how to extract it from the archive and how to add a font in Windows 7so that it can be used.
How to add a font to Word and more?
Right-click on the archive, click Open with, then select WinRAR. If you do not know how to unpack archives, then read my two articles on this topic:
