I made a font of my handwriting and my friend want to download it. How do I make it available to her or anyone else?

Thanks!
Jan

Jan,

Send your fonts directly to me and I'll upload them to the forum.

When I get it all done a business wants to sell my font on their site for scrapbooking. I need to know how to make it available for others to download.
Thanks!

This question is nothing to do with Font Creator, but I'll answer it anyway. If you need more general PC help try the PC Advisor forum (Registration required).

Probably your ISP provides you with some webspace so you need to find out how to upload files to your webspace.

Either you can provide a direct link to the file:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pesala/Fonts/Guru.7z

or a link to the directory:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pesala/Fonts/

or you can create a webpage with links on it:

http://www.aimwell.org/Fonts/fonts.html

The business that wants to distribute your font will host it for you. You just need to email the file to them. I use 7-zip archives because they are smaller and my fonts are rather large, but standard ZIP archives are more popular for downloading. They are fine for files under 100 Kbytes.
