If you have never installed extra fonts for your computer, you have missed a lot of inspiration. You can find fonts for almost any style with just an easy search, in an extensive array of categories such as Roman fonts, san serif fonts, Arabic fonts, grunge, distorted, angular, typewriter, techno, honeycomb, christmas... the list is without end. If you are into stencils, there's an extensive list of stencil fonts. If you like the old west, grab a western font. You get the idea. Whatever your creative desire is, there's in all probability a font that is free and perfect for you.
To choose a beautiful set of fonts for your project, you need to analyze your audience, the context of your text, and practical matters like height of the fonts, the readability of the content and reader age. You do not want to pick a font that is impossible to read for a poster in a nursing home. You also do not want to choose a font that is too dainty for the workplace. As usual, less is more, and you should find and experiement with several fonts and font combinations to see how the final result appears before finally deciding. Start with a set of basic fonts, and then experiment changing just a single design element at a time. And do not forget to have fun.
So, now that you have geared up to get some fonts, what's next? There are lots of downloads pages for free fonts. Most of them are fantastic but have a somewhat limited selection. A few of them are very forceful with pop-up ads and even malware (turn your anti-virus software on). And on most all sites, you can only download zip files. Once you download it, you unzip the font files (then remove the original zip file), and copy the unzipped font files to your font-folder. It's a rather convoluted procedure, in particular if you have multiple fonts you want to download. But there is a better way...
On CaliforniaFonts.com, there are no zip files. Instead you download executable installers, so when you download a font, it's an one-stop process.

Utilizing the font manager, you can then browse the other font web sites, and select any of the fonts you require. They will be downloaded, unzipped, and installed in one simple package automatically by the font manager. This feature lets you choose literally hundreds of fonts, line them up, and with just a few of clicks download and install them. This article has hopefully inspired you to find new fonts.
