Open the fonts folder and see if these fonts are hidden. If so change them to show. You should be able to select them all at once and change from hide to show.

Hi critical3,

I've just tried a couple from the site you mentioned (jellyka_gare_de_chambord and infected) and they both installed correctly. I downloaded them to my downloads folder, extracted them to the same folder and the right-clicked on the extracted file and selected Install. Which fonts are you having trouble with?

 

[critical3]

thats the thing then, i didnt install them.. before on winxp i could just extract them to the fonts folder without installing..

how do i see those fonts in the font folder and install them??

it only shows 181 and not showing the other 510
