Collect all *.ttf fonts of your choice 2. create a folder .fonts in your home folder 3. Copy all the collected fonts in .fonts folder 4. Restart PC. Disadvantage : installed fonts will be available to only that user, in whose home location this folder is created. If you want to install globally you can follow other methods. best wishes Arun
