i installed a new font and i want to change the font on my desktop but when i try to change the fonts the font i want DOESNT show up, how do i change the font?plagued4life......What operating system are you using and where did you install the fonts ?

let us know

dl65 i have windows 98 and i saved it and added it to my font listWhy would you want to change your desktop fonts?idk, i think it would look better than the font the desktop hasDon't you think that if it would, Microsoft would have decided to use those fonts? They're quite KEEN on looks.its not a regular font, its a slipknot font and i wanted to put it as my desktop font to fit the theme on my computerWhy would anyone want a Slipknot theme? That must be the most horrible band in history. Well apart from all the other bands in the same genre.

ok did i ask for your opinion on slipknot, i asked how i change my desktop font, but apparently its not getting answered so nevermindI thought everyone wanted to know my opinion.plagued4life, I get that problem pretty often (hey, I'm a font addict: at one point I had 1042 installed!) The solution is very simple - just go to "View > Refresh" in your fonts folder. This normally WORKS for me.

Raptor, are you really sure you'd entrust this man on matters of style and looks?

I quite often change the fonts on my desktop/start menu etc in order to get a desired theme going. I think you'll find Serif fonts can work pretty well sometimes...He looks an awful lot like the person I see in the mirror.. Hmm..
