If the font is zipped up you need an upzipping program such as WinZip.

Extract your .ttf file into your Window/Fonts folder. Tah dah, font installed. ALthough somtimes you have to go into that folder and double click the font for it to install (double clicking it will open up the font preview window, for some reason some of my fonts won’t work if I don’t do this). You will only have to do this once.
