They can add a lot of personality and pizzaz to a document. Fonts can also add a personal touch, such as fonts for holidays, birthdays and other themes.
There are lots of free fonts on the internet which you can download for free. A couple of the best sites for lots of free fonts are 1001 fonts and DaFont.com.
How to install fonts: After you have downloaded the font(s) you want, the first step is to unzip the folder. Right click on the folder and select unzip. ( If you are using 7-zip, select "extract to "name of font". Next, double click the unzipped folder. Right click on the font, and select "install". That's it, the font should be installed in the correct folder. You can then delete both the zipped and unzipped folders if you like.
Caution I: Don't download fonts unless you think you are going to use it. When a program that uses fonts loads up, (like Word, Open Office, and others,) it loads all the fonts at the beginning. Having tons of fonts will just cause the program to take longer to load.
Caution II: Please dont' use crazy, hard to read fonts for school reports or other important documents you may write. These fonts aren't really for those types of documents.
Otherwise: Download, Install, and Enjoy
