if they're zipped, unzip them to your Windows/Fonts folder.
Then I right click on my Start button, click on Explore (if you use IE), go to Windows, Fonts. When you open the fonts folder, the fonts will automatically install.

yeah helps to be specific :)

Go into your ACP > Styles & Templates > All Style Options.
Scroll down to the bottom and add the fonts, save.

Be advised tho, that if the members don't have that font installed on their own computer, they won't see the forum in that font.

My best guess is: They're the fonts for generating the catchpa on the registration page.

Catchpa= Image of letters & numbers in a picture that you have to type in to a box, prevents bot registrations.

You can also use BB Code for some nifty font trickery.

See the attached image for an example config.

That would've slipped by me normally too, I'm just on the ball today! 3 vB installs and a wordpress install -- Nothing has gone wrong yet! :) *crosses fingers*

BTW, you get any sleep yet?
