  • click the Start button in the Windows taskbar, then choose the Settings | Control Panel... command,
  • double-click the Fonts icon,
  • choose the File | Install New Font... command,
  • direct the Add Fonts dialog to the folder where you have just unpacked the contents of the downloaded font zip file,
  • select the new font(s) you wish to install, and click OK to register your choice.

The newly installed font(s) will be immediately accessible by Atlantis and other applications (no Windows restart is necessary).
