Hey everyone and welcome to another HD Tutorial. And in this video, I was about to do a video on how to change your fonts and RocketDock which you can see at the bottom of my screen and a lot of my desktop videos. There’s this dock or at the top my screen that I have a lot of my icons and so I maintain a perfectly clean desktop. But then I was realizing that I didn’t show you guys where to get the themes in the first place, so this video is going to be a video on the fonts, the website where you can download and install free themes or XP for Vista, for any windows machine, Window 7, anyone of those operating systems. So, enjoy this tutorial and I hope you enjoy the fonts that you may find or download on this site.
Alright, welcome to my desktop. Here, you can see at the bottom, these are the icons that I was talking about in RocketDock. If you haven’t already, just go ahead and watch my videos on RocketDock, how to download it, customize it, install it, etcetera. But you see a little theme that actually—not the theme but the font that comes up that says Sony Vegas Pro. By the way, if you want Camtasia Studio 6 or Sony Vegas Pro for free, watch my HD Tutorials on how to get those for free.
So, we’re going to do—what we’re going to do is go to the fonts. We’re going to go—just open up any web browser that you may prefer and go to any major search engine whether that’s Google or—or Apple or whatever and we’re going to type in the font. And this is the website right here, the font.com, where you can get a ton of graffiti art and calligraphy, tons of different fonts and all these different styles where we can select the ones out you want.
So first of all, I have to mention that these are multi-platform download so you can get these fonts on Mac Os X and on your PC. So just for any—of this tutorial, I’m not actually going to go up here but you can use the search box here to search for any style of a font that you might like to find or to look by alphabetical order or in this whole search guide here. But I’m just going to look at—I like this say I like this font in Golden Pony, so what I’m going to do is click on the Download button to the right of it and you can see over here it says, Download Warning, this is a .zip file okay. But what we’re going to be unzipping is the font itself and Windows Vista actually has the installation of a font built into it. So, what we’re going to do is open and it’s going to download pretty much instantly since it’s a puny file and you can see it’s 57.9KB. And what we’re going to do is open up the folder in which we just downloaded this file.
So, we’re going to exit out of our web browser back here so we can see exactly what this is. This is a true type file font. What we’re going to do with this font that we just got, again, very small compressed size is right click it. No, we’re going to extract all files. So, just hit the Extract All Files button and find a place or a location in the directory where you want to install this font. So, I’m just going to look through my documents, find maybe a program documents where I like to save a lot of my download so hold on a second. Documents, Program Documents, and hit Okay. So, this is where we’re going to leave the button checked that says Show Extract Files when complete, so you don’t even have to look back forth again. It’s going to do a quick extraction and open a new window.
So, you remember the old name of it was Golden Pony, so you’re going to look in a new file for the new folder for Golden Pony. And so searching, I didn’t exactly find it there and look for Golden Pony so I'm just going to look and scroll down until I find it, maybe you guys see it already. I don’t know, I’m kind of blind. But here it is, Golden Pony. And as you can see, there are two teams because it’s a two-type font. Once you have this, right click on it and there will be an Install button right here. This is the key thing in Windows Vista. If you don’t have this in XP, I promise to put in the description a way to actually install this because you don’t have a right click and Install option in Windows XP. But I will put it in the description how to do this in XP or 98.
But in Windows Vista and Windows 7, you just hit this install button and if UAC does pop up like you just did for me, just hit okay. So, it’s currently installed. The font is already installed on my PC. So now, if I were to use it, I’ll try to pop it up with a preview free here. But that is basically it. That is how you install any font from the font.com. Again, I’ll put the link in the description. I’ll put instructions for older versions of Windows in the description and enjoy your new fonts guys.
