Installing the Jedi Font

Installing fonts is easy in Windows XP. You have two options. You can either drag and drop the font from its current location (on the DVD supplied with this book), or you can follow the installation feature built into Windows. Either way, you'll need to temporarily jump out of Premiere Elements for just a second; in other words, you'll need to save your work and exit Premiere Elements. The reason we need to exit is that in order for Premiere Elements (or any program) to see newly-installed fonts, the program needs to restart.

Install the Jedi Font into the Windows Fonts Folder

Exit Premiere Elements by selecting File, Exit. If your are prompted to save your changes before closing, click Yes.

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Fonts folder, typically C:\Windows\Fonts.

When the Fonts folder opens, select File, Install New Font.

On the Add Fonts dialog box, use the Drives drop down to locate your DVD drive.

Tip

Be sure the DVD supplied with this book is in your DVD drive.

Navigate to the Extras folder, then Fonts.

The Star Jedi Hollow (True Type) font will show up in the list of fonts. When it does, select it and click OK. The font will be installed.

Restart Premiere Elements and select the starwarstitle project (it should be at the top of the list of projects. The font will now be ready to use.

Simply dragging and dropping the font into the Fonts folder does the job. You have at your disposal an alternative, and a bit quicker, method if you want to use it. Exit Premiere Elements. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Fonts folder on the DVD supplied with this book. Open another instance of Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts. Select the jedifont.ttf font from the DVD and drag and drop it into the Windows Fonts folder.
