Installing Latex On Windows Xp
Whether you download fonts from a website or have a CD full of typefaces, before you can to use them in your word processor or other software programs you must install TrueType or OpenType fonts in Windows.
There are two ways to install a font in Windows: via the Fonts folder or from the font file.
If you are running Windows XP service pack 2/3 please download the stable version found here. Once the installer has downloaded, run it and wait for it to finish. Open up TeXnic Center for the first time and a dialog box should appear asking for a pathway to a TeX distribution. For this we will use MiKTeX that we installed in. Installing LaTeX on Cygwin can be slightly different from the site installations of LaTeX. If you want to use TeX on Cygwin, it works great. Just install all of the teTeX packages.
Instructions in this article apply to Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7.
How to Install Fonts in the Fonts folder
If you downloaded a font as a ZIP file, extract it before you access the Fonts folder.
Find the location font(s)you want to install. Open the folder containing the font, but do not open the font file.
TrueType fonts have the extension.TTF and an icon that is a dog-eared page with two overlapping Ts. They require only this one file for installation and use. OpenType fonts have the extension.TTF or .OTF and a little icon with an O. They also require only this one file for installation and use.
Type fonts into the Search box and select the font folder option that appears in the results. The Fonts folder will open.
Alternatively, open the Control Panel and make sure it is in Large Icon, Small Icon or Classic View.
Go back to the folder containing the font you want to install. Select the font file and drag it to the Fonts folder. Drop it anywhere in the main area of the folder window.
Close the folders. The font will now be available to use on your computer.
How to Install a Font from the Font File
Another way to install a font in Windows is to do so directly from the unzipped font file.
Installing Latex On Windows Xp Version
Navigate to the unzipped font file on your computer.
When the font is installed, you can begin using it.
In Windows 10, you can also double-click the font file to open it and select the Install button to install it automatically.
If you have programs running while you install fonts in Windows, they may require that you exit the application and restart for the new fonts to be available in the font menu.
