How to download a font ?
Click on the Download link beside the preview picture. Then a window opens where you must select where the font shall be saved.
How to install a font under Windows ?
On Windows Vista: Right click on font file --> Install
Other Windows version:
All fonts are compressed in a zip file. First go to the place where you saved the zip file. Then double click on the zip file to open it. Now drag and drop the files with the .ttf, .otf or .fon extension from the zip window. If there are more font files as one, hold down CTRL key to select several at once. After you saved the files on your computer, select the same fonts again and copy that into the Fonts Theme (as a rule C:\WINDOWS\Fonts) which you find in the Windows Theme.
Alternatively You have the possibility of installing the font file over the following way: My Computer (or Start) > Control Panel > Fonts > Install New Font.
How to install a font under Mac OS ?
All fonts are compressed in a zip file. Since Mac OS X it recognize true type fonts too (but not .fon extensions). First u must expand the zip file. After that you must copy the files with .ttf or .otf extensions into /Library/Fonts or into /Users/Your_username/Library/Fonts when it should usable only for you.
Right question - May i use the fonts commercially?
The fonts on DailyFreeFonts.com are property of the respective authors. If you want to use a font commercially, you must clarify this in every case with the author. For example by e-mail. The Readme file contained in the Zip file gives you information about the author. If no Readme file should be available, you find also in the font information who is responsible for the font. Simply open the *.ttf file to this.
With the example of the font "Kaunitz" you see how some such information looks under Windows.
