"...I still don't see them--and I even started a font folder, although I don't have but three styles in it. I need much more study of this fun stuff, I reckon!"
I think your problem is, you don't have them in your WINDOWS font folder. That's where they need to be. When you locate your WINDOWS font folder and open it, you will find fonts already in there. Just copy the fonts you downloaded and paste them into that folder. That's all there is to it. :-)
Okaaayy! I knew there was something wrong! It is kinda late for my brain to work tonight, I am going to DO this thing in the morning or else!
