need to send a font to another pc &clueless????

[melsy]

Havent got a clue a)how to retrieve it b)how to attach it as a file?? c) can I send it via email??

I know HOOOOOOOOW BOORING , but its my B'day to day and Im trying to re hash dd's last year invites , but my new and not-so-dead-as-old-pc, laptop doesnt have all the fonts that the dying pc has and want to get them on here PDQ!!!

Do you know the name of the file and its location on your PC?

What email do you use?

Hiya Saint george

Its outlook Express 6 , not sure of font location. Would I start in Windows explorer?

Hang on one sec, I'll look were mine are stored.

c:\windows\fonts

just attach the file to the email

then to receive it go into my computer and go into c:\windows\fonts then choose file, install new font

da da daaaa

My fonts are all in the Windows folder in a folder called fonts. Just attach them to your email in the usual way of attaching files.

Beat me to it popsycal
And I forgot the instal bit too.

Glad I refreshed thread before posting or I would have repeated everyone else

thanx guys , need to get onto that some time today!!

Im here on the old chugalug pc and it wont let me attach the fonts via new message in Outlook??? Is there something Im meant to do b4 ?

You need to copy them from the font folder to another folder before it will et you attach them.

Tried that , says access denied !!! probably cos they have copyright on them.. oooooohhh what a pain in the ...........!!!

ooh he,lloo soupy, didnt see it was u , Im running in and out of pc rooom to check on dd!!

Which font is it you want to send, and where to? Maybe someone here an send the e-mail with attachment for you?

Theres a few Im afraid

Lucida handwriting
Gaze
John handy LET plain1.0
First grader
Grantshand
hansons hand

Its mainly the 1st one , but now Ive been looking on pc the others would be great to if anyone else has them and knows how!!

I opened control panel, then "fonts" and had anther folder open at the same time. Hold down control and dragged Lucida Handwriting into the new folder (this copies) Do you have anythign that uses fonts open at the moment? maybe it thinks they're in use?

OK trying that now , thanx soo much for help. Im big time stressed right now with work and dh is bugging me to get these invites sorted and out!!

Greatits let me attach them now and have sent them to other pc. Lets hope I can find them and installl them ok now !!

I had to include a load of fonts with a newsletter I sent to the printers - took me ages to figure it out

will Im very impressed with your Pc knowledge.Especially after the other stuff you helped me with a few months back.

My knowledge is all because I've usually had that problem before!

will ta for passing on the tricks afetr all your laboured investigations !!!
