Downloadable Fonts

Hi readers! Thought I would do a quick How-To. I realized that this is a necessity for any of your summertime printable projects.

Have you ever opened an editable printable and see that the font does not match up? Annoying, right?! Well here is how you can download all these cool fonts into your windows computer, or laptop. Apple users can click here. {Thanks Fontspring}

So I love to use Dafonts.com. They have up to date fonts, and a very user friendly face. However you can google any font, or even things like "Mickey Mouse Font" and fonts should come up. This being said, your first step is to find your font.


Okay so we found it! In this case we are downloading a font called "Aspire." {Heads up: It will be used for an upcoming editable printable on this site.} Now that you have found your font, next thing to do is click Download. Once you click download, your file should appear in your download list.

Okay, there it is, now click "Open". Once you click open you should not have to locate your file. Most of the time it is already located in your "Downloads" folder. However if this part doesn't work {it didn't work on my husband's laptop}using the same drop down menu as before {by right clicking on the file} you can click "Show In Folder" instead of "Open." Once you've located it, right click on it, and "Open With" --> "Microsoft Windows." It will open and all you have to do now is click "Install." Voila! It's done. Now just open your editable printable or any program installed on your computer if you wish to create your own printables!



Tip: If your program was already open and you don't see the font. You are going to need to save your work and then reopen the program.

Let me know if you have any questions in the comment box below. Enjoy!
