How to install a font on WIN2003SBS/IIS 6 & test
Hi there, I have gone thru a few google searches on how to install a font, but cannot for the life of me find how to test...
I have placed the *.ttf file in the FONTS dir within Windows and made a page which has the font on it (which what I think the name of the font is).
Is this correct? Or is there another way of installing testing?
Cheers

hmm I cannot find a + button...
no idea why you got a different screen presented, but you may click on that up arrow red button on the top right of the font...

I think Futura is not really a free font available

will you probably use another similar font for replacement?
