Hey, I am downloading fonts to my computer, and I'm trying to install them. I'm going to control pannel, then appearances, then fonts, then I go to file and click instal new font, then I click on the folder and I go to press OK and a box comes up that says something about how that file is in use and try again when not in use.. im not using anything though. There was nothing open. HELP PLEASE!

Close out all other windows while installing fonts. Additionally, check to make sure (in properties) that the font is not "read only".

Other than this it should install without problems.

I just tried exiting everything and they aren't read only. It still says "(filename) in use and cannot be replaced"

Sounds like the font is already installed.

Maybe it has a two(2) installer one is the set up and other one is the installer why don't you first install the set up then install the installer maybe if is right??

What??

What font is it? Did you check to see if its on your installed list?

Its every font I download and no I don't have them already.. I don't think anyone can help me :'( I just want fonts

Try unlocker and find out which program is using it and then close it and then try to install

Where did you download these fonts from?
