I'm not sure how to add fonts to one's computer...I did do it once following a guide, but can't remember the guide location nor how to do it.

Also, you don't install it into the program, it is installed into the available fonts on the actual computer  itself.  Then the font can be used on any program that uses text....woo-hoo for having Hyrulian on my computer. :P

If you have a standard font file that's .TTF or whatever and are using Windows, you can do one of the following:
1. Double click the file. Windows should automatically add it to your font folder.
2. Go to Control Panel->Fonts and drag-and-drop the font file into the folder
3. Go to C:\Windows\Fonts or change the first letter if C: is not your root drive and paste the font into that folder

The OS usually handles the font lists, so Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Firefox, Notepad, WordPerfect, etc all use the same list.
