Disclaimer: I’m a Mac guy but I’m having to use a PC for this project.

I need to compose a flyer for a benefit using two fonts from [dafont.com](http://dafont.com). I know how to get them (downloaded fonts) on PhotoShop on a Mac but I am stumped on this PC. Can someone provide a step-by-step for me? And, please, dumb it down - I’m not a computer guy.

Thanks in advance.  
Steven

There’s a “Fonts” folder in the Control Panel. It lets you open the font file and install it.
