Hello:

There are different ways to add fonts. Here are some possibilities:

The first is from what Google suggested when searching on how to do it. Google says:

 

To install a font

  1. Open Fonts by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
  2. Click File, and then click Install New Font. ...
  3. In the Add Fonts dialog box, under Drives, click the drive where the font that you want to install is located.

Your other option would be to go to a website, like www.teacherspayteachers.com and browse with the keyword "fonts." Many teachers are either giving away fonts or sell them at a very affordable price. I got some of mine there, but if you use it for commercial use, you have to read the conditions, just to make sure they allow you to do it.

 

There is also another tutorial from WikiHow at http://www.wikihow.com/Add-Font-in-Microsoft-Word 

 

Hope this was useful... By the way, I am looking for an Expat job with a degree in Business Management along with some teaching experience (not certified thought, but I can do it) and experience with transportation and forklift since2000. If ever you know of a place for me to apply as an Expat for me and my wife in Saudi, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, or Morocco, feel free to let me know by sending me a message.
