Font Installation:

How to Download Fonts
As I like to warn all of you: I'm a life-long Mac user and it's truly all I know. But, there is a great font installation guide for PC users here on Wikihow that can definitely help you in that department.

To install these free fonts on your Mac (since this is what I know, I do a tutorial on that the best), you can follow along with my steps below:

How to Install Fonts

Installing Fonts on a Mac:

  • After you have download your new cottage-esque font, locate it in your download folder (or wherever you've downloaded your font).
  • Open the folder of the font (there may not be an actual folder with every font, it may just be the actual file, in which case, you won't have to open a folder).
  • Double click the .ttf or .otf file (I prefer to use .otf. or Open Type Format files when they're available. They can be resized or manipulated without compromising quality. But, they're not always available.).
Installing Fonts
  • After you've double clicked the .ttf or .otf file, a dialog box should automatically populate.
  • Click that 'Install Font' button (as pictured above) and your installation will automatically begin (it only takes just a few seconds for the entire install). 
  • Check your Font Book (this can be found in your applications folder) to make sure the font is there and you can start using it immediately.
