1,000 FREE Fonts For Windows & Mac

free-fontTired of the off-the-shelf Windows or Mac fonts?  Grab some free fonts at 1001freefonts.com.  Here are just a few of their font categories:

  • 3D
  • Calligraphy
  • Decorative
  • Graffiti
  • Handwriting
  • Medieval
  • Old English
  • Typewriter

To install the free font, click on the appropriate button:  Download Win Font or Download Mac Font.  A small pop-up will prompt you to Open or Save.  I do not have a Mac so anything beyond this is for Windows users only.

Click Open then Extract All Files to a destination folder that is easy for you to remember.  Frankly, I put all my downloaded stuff to my Desktop first and move it somewhere else later. 

Next, go to the Control Panel (Start -> Control Panel).  If you have Vista, change the folder view to Classic View.  In the Control Panel folder click on Fonts

Right click anywhere in the opened Fonts folder and click Install Fonts.  If you saved the font on your Desktop go to C:\Users, then to whatever your username is, and then Desktop. 

The font installer will list the fonts available for installation from that folder.  Highlight the fonts and Install. 

You should be able to use your fonts from within Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Publisher, and any other editor that uses the Windows fonts!
