Additional Fonts in Vista

I don't seem to have calligraphy fonts on my computer (have checked in CP>Fonts).
Does anyone know a reliable site where I can import some please?
I don't want masses, just a few.

Re: Additional Fonts in Vista

Thanks for that oldjim. Would you happen to know if I could import it from another edition of Vista? I am pretty certain that I don't have it because my new version is Business. If it is possible to copy and paste it via a USB stick I do have access to Vista Basic which I know does have the font that I am looking for (i.e. Lucida Calligraphy).

Poppy,
I don't know but it is worth a try - go to C:/windows/fonts on the other machine and copy the ones you want then go to the same folder on the new machine. If you click on File/Install fonts it may well work

Re: Additional Fonts in Vista

Have managed to transfer the fonts that I wanted via USB stick and all is working fine. One of the quirks of computers - can't understand why they are not all the same where fonts are concerned. Thank you for your help.

Re: Additional Fonts in Vista

Some of it is down to licensing as many fonts are commercial offerings. Try <a href="http://www.searchfreefonts.com/">this site</a> for lots of free ones.

For anyone who wants "something a little bit different"  then this site is a "must have " on your bookmarks/favourites list..... brilliant  13,000 fonts  for FREEEEEEE !
Oh and don`t be put off by the number..... they are all categorised, and when you click on the category, it shows the actual fonts in a typed line so you can see if you like it.
Thanks for the link.... I shall have to reduce my 500 fonts to make some room for new ones now ! !  Roll_eyes Roll_eyes Roll_eyes
