Installing fonts in Windows 7

When I was in high school and learning Corel Photopaint, I got fond of installing fancy looking fonts on my PC. My uncle taught me how to install fonts on Windows by simple copying the fonts to c:\windows\fonts and magically have it available for the applications I need it for. The last Windows version I used (before switching to Mac OSX) was WinXP. And I think I was still able to install fonts using the method I learned from my computer mentor. Now I'm back, using Windows 7, and in one project I'm working on required me to look and install for a font. I was able to download what I need but couldn't find the windows/font directory. I thought of sending my uncle an email for help but I figured Google would be faster. :)

I hope you'll read this someday Uncle Joe. Here's a quick(er) way to install fonts on Windows 7:

1. Right click on the font
2. Select install
