    Someone asked me to write a document in Calabri font

    I downloaded it, but how do I install it so that MS Word can use it?

    I;m using Word 97 with Windows XP-Professional

    "All fonts are stored in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. You can also add
    fonts by simply dragging font files from the extracted files folder
    into this folder. Windows will automatically install them. If you want
    to see what a font looks like, open the Fonts folder, right-click the
    font file, and then click Preview."

    Maybe that also applies to Windows XP, I don't have a Windows system to
    test it.

    Control Panel >> Fonts
    The 'Fonts' window's 'File' menu has 'Install New Font...'.

    As Ralph said. However, you don't actually need to go to
    Control Panel. C:\Windows\Fonts can be opened like a normal
    folder and Install New Fonts is on the File menu. The dialogue
    window will ask you to point to the folder with new fonts. You
    can install as many as you like at one time. Windows will figure
    it out. But if you have a folder full of fonts that are already
    installed you'll have to answer a messagebox for each one:
    "This font is already installed."

    I've found that on XP, for unknown reasons, occasionally Windows
    loses a lot of fonts. So I keep backups.

    Double-click the font file. (XP PRO)

    Thanks very much, that worked.

    Thanks. I did try copying the fontts to there, but Windows didn't seem
    to find them.

    Eventually managed to find the install button, and using that to copy
    them from another directory worked.

    Thanks, I had difficulty in finding the Install menu, and it seemed
    not to find font files if they were alreadt in the fonts folder, so I
    copied them out to a temporary folder and installed them from there.
