Word Processing Fonts question....Font import

[MSG]

Any one can please advise me how I can imort or export fonts from one computer to another, for example I use a a laptop running on ME and it has a certain font called Xpress sf and a bolder version called Xpress Heavy sf, I need to export these to another desk top that runs on Win 2000, any way I can copy this file from my laptop to my bench pc? if so how do I go about? thank you in advance/

just copy and paste into the windows font file. They should worki if they are true type fonts (ttf fles)

Copy and paste Ok, luckily I still have those floppy drives on both and its a lot easier than to burn a CD, cheers I will try that mate. Thanks. I suppose I could have used the usb key to transfer the file.

only thing was I wasn't sure how to get into the font file? is it through windows explorere?

Sometime you have to go to Start>settings>control panel>fonts

Then install new font and pick it off the disc. On some OS's just copying it wont actually register the font on the system.

Done it mate! great thanks for both of your help. It was a bit tricky, but got around it. I went into the my computer and fonts folder, got to the font I wanted to copy to another computer, so highlighted it and pressed the copy button, all is well and simple so far but now comes the problem......how do you paste it into an A:\ drive?

so I went into run and chose A:\ browse, click on show all files, and then a small window opens and it hasn't got any buttons for allowing one to Paste, so I just brought the mouse pointer in the main section of this window and as I have already copied the fonts file so all I now need is to paste, but there is no paste button or Edit menue, so I tried the Ctrl +V (paste short cut) and it worked, it copied the fonts file on to my A: drive on a floppy and I then took it over to the other computer and swiftly copied it into the other computer by going through My computer and Fonts folder and from its menue I chose add fonts, and it did the job. Thanks everyone. great help.

BTW DOM, this particular font generates the symbol CE as required by all manufactureres of electrical and electronics goods to be placed on their products, this font does the job for me although it is not 100% but it is hardly noticeable, it does the job.
