All font files that you download from this site (and other font sites) will be contained in an archive (.zip) file.
An archive file, also known as a ZIP file, has the ability to store and compress multiple files of different types.
The use of an archive file is necessary because font designers often require that a separate ReadMe text file be sent along with the font file. ReadMe files often contain the font designers terms of use for the font and/or installation instructions.
If you have
Windows XP, a utility for extracting or
unzipping the font files from the archive file is part of the operating system.
If you are using Win98 or some other operating system you can use FREE software such as
StuffIt Expander Windows
or
StuffIt Expander 10.0 For Mac
to open .zip and other types of archive files.
If you would like to CREATE .zip files in addition to opening .zip, .sit, and other archive files,
