Installing Fonts

Fonts are the lifeblood of formatting. Whether you're creating an e-mail, a newsletter, or a Web page, fonts play an integral role in the look of the document. There are a few default fonts that come with Lindows, but you have the ability to add to this list by installing new fonts. Fonts can be purchased or downloaded from a variety of sites on the Internet.
