Ok, I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm wondering how I add freeware fonts to my existing programs. Like, how do I add a new font to paint so I can use it in siggies?

Also, if anyone would like to help me in a different way what I'm looking for now is one of the big flowey script fonts (like the ones that extend outside of a siggy's background) So, if anyone has a cool font like that (or any cool font they'd like to share) what I'd like is one that says "Frankie", one that says "Wickett" and one that's an ampersand "&".

You can download them from many websites, my favourite is www.dafont.com

You install it to the windows/fonts folder and it should show up in all programs that use the central windows font folder (pretty much anything that runs from your computer rather than directly from a disk)

I used to have a font in my old computer that had like two or three dots above letters that use dots instead of one. I have no idea what it was called or where I got it but it was cute. Does anyone have nay idea?

I can think of a few that have dots for all letters but I never use words with dots over them so wouldn't know, if you check out dafont.com they show you an image preview of each letter so that would help you find it.

I still don't know how to make a new thread - can someone please advise me.
a mod answered your question here

There are some cute fonts on there

BTW the link you provided doesn't work, there are some extra letters in there. So anyone else wanting to look, cut and paste the text link provided but don't click on the link

I am so pleased about that.
