okay, i downloaded a few fonts, and saved the zipped folders on my desktop. now that i've gone through the process of putting the fonts in the fonts folder (windows XP user here), what do i do with the zipped folders on my desktop?? can i delete them? or what do i do? please help! X(

Yes, you can. Or keep them in a folder in case you have to reinstall

Save it in a storage folder to :
1- keep the terms of licence
2- can reinstall in the future, after a system damage or if you change your computer.

thank you, thank you both! ^_^
