Font Installation Instructions

Below are instructions on how to install any font for both a Mac or Windows PC.

Please note our download is compressed into a Zip File. So once downloaded, you will need
to extract or unzip these fonts using relevant software. Most new computers come with this
software pre-installed. But if not, I can recommend the following programs

For Mac

Zipeg (http://www.zipeg.com)

For Windows

Win Rar (http://rarlabs.com/download.htm)

How to Install a Font


For Mac users

1) First locate the fonts you wish to install from the list of items on The Hungry JPEG website.
Each font is neatly laid out in files within the zip you have just downloaded to make
installation super easy.

2) Standard font files for desktop use end in either .OTF or .TTF. These are the two files you
are trying to locate. We would recommened choosing the OTF file initially. Double click on
the OTF file you wish to download.

3) You will notice a new program called Font Book open up. Give it around 30 seconds to
open fully. Now you should notice a small install button appear with all the fonts characters
laid out A-Z. When it does click Install.

4) Give it another 15 - 30 seconds or so at the most, and hey presto, its installed.

5) Open up your relevant software (Word, Photoshop, Illustrator etc) and select the font from
the relevant dropdown list. Installation is only required once.

For Windows 8/7/Vista

Please note these instructions are only for Windows 8, 7 or Vista. For any other version of
Windows, please see the instructions detailed below.

1) First locate the fonts you wish to install from the list of items on The Hungry JPEG website.
Each font is neatly laid out in files within the zip you have just downloaded to make
installation super easy.

2) Standard font files for desktop use end in either .OTF or .TTF. These are the two files you
are trying to locate. Personally I would recommend installing the OTF file.

3) Next, Right Click on the OTF file, and click Install. Give your computer 30 seconds to install
the font.

4) Open up your relevant software (MS Word, Photoshop, Illustrator etc) and you are now able
to type using that specific font. Installation is only required once.

For Windows (other versions)

1) First locate the fonts you wish to install from the list of items on The Hungry JPEG website.
Each font is neatly laid out in files within the zip you have just downloaded to make
installation super easy.

2) Standard font files for desktop use end in either .OTF or .TTF. These are the two files you are
trying to locate. Personally, I would recommend installing the OTF file.

3) Now while keeping the previous window (with the font files) open, locate the fonts folder
on your computer. You can so this via one of three ways -

a. By searching My Computer for “Fonts”

b. By visiting C:\\Windows\Fonts

c. By clicking Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Fonts

4) Next, simply either drag and drop the font files into the open Fonts folder or copy and paste
them directly in.

5) Open up your relevant software (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) and you are now able to type
using that specific font. Installation is only required once.
