| Drag to Install Fonts SUMMARY: Install fonts in Windows 95 merely by dragging and dropping them.
An easy way to deal with the fonts that Win95 uses is to access the "Fonts" subsection of the Control Panel. This action brings up a window that lets you view fonts various ways, preview fonts, etc. Similar to Win3.11, an option from the "File" menu allows you to "Install New Fonts.." These bring in new fonts to the operating system so they can be used by various applications via a dialog box.
But, as always - there is an easier way. Rather than deal with the file menu, drag and drop the fonts you wish to use in Win95 from other areas on your hard drive, a floppy, a font CD, etc. It may take Win95 a few seconds or a minute (depending on how many fonts currently installed on the system) to recognize the new fonts, but once it does, they will be available for usage with just about all Win95 applications. Drag & Drop and avoid needless dialog boxes.
