I am using windows Vista and when I download font I save it to desktop. Then when I right click on it, it doesn't give me the option to install. It only gives me the option to "open." When I do that, windows opens countless internet explorer pages until the computer locks up. What am I doing wrong?

You have a virus.

Yes, a brain virus. Another idiot here that at all cost will avoid to tell which font it is talking about.

ROFL
From DaFont you download ZIPped fonts. Open that ZIP, extract files on your desktop, et voila.

Now why Serge would you assume it downloaded from here? The infected brain doesn't even know where it got what from. I suggest we skip sponges from the protected species list. Agree?

Actually it is all fonts I have attempted to download. A few from here and a few from other places. @ SashiX, thank you. I think that is the way I have been trying it but will give it another go. Norton didn't find a virus so I don't know what else to do.

See, the sponge has absorbed everything. Just has no clue what. General problem with sponges, no idea about extensions.

Wow. Nice group here.
