Installing Font Folio?...

Thundaar · 09-13-2007, 07:55 PM

My friend gave me a disc to install Adobe Font Folio on my computer. I'm learning graphic designing and he told me that it would help me greatly in making everything look professional. When I pop the thing in it tells me to go to explore the folders. My friend isn't much with Windows Vista and when I talked to him he told me he was busy so I decided to come here for some help.

Other than that I tried to drag one of the fonts to the fonts folder in windows and it gave me a weird message telling me the font couldn't be installed or something. I'd really appreciate any help I can get.

There are options on what Vista does when you put in a CD. (Like, open the setup.exe if it's a program to install.) Or you can browse to the setup file and open it. I think the only way to add fonts is with Install New Font (or something like that) from inside the fonts folder.

You'll have to install Adobe Type Manager (which should be on the disc) and import the fonts using that program.
