WHAT IS A FONT

WHAT IS A FONT?
A font is a set of characters represented in a single typeface. Each character within a font is created by using the same basic style. Means in which style we type matter that is called font.

Can you explain font size?
Fonts are measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch. The number of points assigned to a font is based on the distance from the top to the bottom of its longest character.

How do I install a new font?
To install a new font:
Click the Start button.
Highlight Settings.
Click Control Panel.
Click Fonts. The Fonts window will open.
Click File, which is located on the menu bar.
Click Install New Font.
Specify the drive and folder where the font you want to install is currently located.
Select the font you want to install from the fonts listed in the List of Fonts box.
Select Copy Fonts to Fonts Folder (this will put a copy of the font you are installing in the Fonts folder).
Click OK.
