This sounds kind of stupid, but...

Primate:
Don't know how Windows handles fonts off hand. Mac's keep all their fonts in a single folder where all your programs can access them. Doing a quick search on the computer I'm running suggests Windows does the same thing at C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\  Put your font file in that folder (and unzip it first if it's compressed).

And now for the too much information bit. Of course, those instructions assumes that the program you're using looks for fonts there and can understand the format the font is stored in. The font I use for my comic is in a newer format and some of my old programs on my Mac can't understand it.

Hope that helps.

Sideways:
About fonts, this site is the shiz:

Blambot

I use 'Fanboy Hardcore' in my comic, because it is one of the nicest fonts for resizing.  I can drop it down to a fontsize of 3 and it's crystal clear.  Photoshop does search your C:Windows/Fonts folder, so anything you get from Blambot (and put in your fonts folder) will immediately be accessible from Photoshop.

I have font downloaded in the fonts folder, I just can't figure out the whole unzipping thing...


Also, the program I'm using is kind of old.  (Adobe Photodeluxe). Maybe that's the issue....

Socky:
right click on the zipped file, then extract all into the fonts folder.

Primate:
And if that doesn't work, google Winzip, download its shareware version, and try it again.

(It is possible to make files smaller to make moving them around faster over the internet. However, in its smaller state, the file will not run as it is supposed to. So the file needs to be extracted into its bigger state. If you already knew this, this part may be redundant, but it never hurts to make sure you know what we're talking about.)
