Hello once you un zip a file can you throw the file away and just stay with the blue folder or do you need the zip file?
Thanks

Thank you. Just another question sorry I'm new to this. I tried opening the font from fonts4free.net and when I unzipped it i couldn't used with my SCAL. Do you know how I can use it with my SCAL? Thank you so much!

If you will only use it rarely, you can just double click on the file to open it, then either open SCAL, or if SCAL is already opened use the font refresh button (a circular arrow in the Font window) to refresh your font list. Sometimes fonts aren't named exactly what you think, so they might be somewhere else on the list. Also, for some reason some fonts appear at the end of the list instead of in alphabetical order.

If you think you will use it often, you need to install the font. The method varies a little depending on your computers operating system. HTH

I am on a mac and if I add a font to my fontbook and my SCAL is already open I have to close it (SCAL) and reopen it for it to recognize it. By the way I usually leave my font book open until I am done and then click on the font to remove it so it doesn't clog it up or frustrate any other user in my household by having a million and one fonts.
