Fabulous Fonts
     Many families send out Christmas letters at this time of year. They generally start out with "Dear friends, we had a good year. I won the lottery and used the money to get my daughter elected senator, and my oldest son, the general, was able to watch the ceremony. Unfortunately, my youngest son, has one more year of his prison term left." The dullest letter can be jazzed up with the use of colorful fonts. Posters and banners look much better with seasonal fonts. The following URL page has many fonts for all occasions. A small sample of the fonts follows:

How to Download the Fonts

     First download the font to a known location, say desktop. If the file is zipped, then unzip it. Then go to control panel --> Fonts. Click on File menu on the top left, and select install new fonts. Now browse from the window to the location you have saved your font. Select the font, and click on the ok button. And you are through. (HINT: Save the unzipped file in a folder that you can find again easily.-CFM)
