First of all, do you have a PC or Mac? I'll tell you how I do it on my PC. In this exmaple, I am using the site www.dafont.com. After I choose the font I want, I click download. Then the box comes up saying Open, Save, or Cancel. I click Save..it downloads...I close the download box. Okay, so the font is in a compressed zip folder on my desktop. I open it, and then send the actual font file to my Documents. Then I click on Folders in the Documents box (this allows me to see the font while also seeing all the other folders on the left hand side). After I have located the font file in my Documents, I click the little plus sign next to My Computer (on the left hand side) and then the little plus sign next to Control Panel. Now, right below Control Panel it should say Administrative Tools and then below that, Fonts. Now all you need to do is drag your font file over to Fonts. A box should come up to say that it is transferring or whatever, and then the new font will be added to your font collection. So from what you said, it sounds like you've got the Font zip or whatever somewhere, you just need to do the part beginning with tranferring it to your Documents. Hope that helps.

Hi Ash, my name is Monica and I was trying to download some fonts but it tells me when I try to drag the folder that the file must be invalid and won't transfer it. I don't know what the problem is. If you could help I would greatly apreciate it. Thank you.

Have you opened the zip file that is usually put on your desktop when you download the font? You should open the zip and move the actual font file to your documents. Then from there you move it to your Fonts folder.
But if you have done that and it still isn't working, it just may be the actual font zip that is invalid. Try downloading the font from another website.
