Just put it in your 'Fonts' directory in your 'Windows' folder. I think it recognises it automatically, or at least it does on Windows XP.
There are several methods that'll work depending on your Windows:
- Simply put the file in C:\Windows\Fonts and it'll recognise automatically
- Do step one, but double click and open the file after moving it, to give Windows a hint that its there
- Go to "Fonts" in your control panel and screw around with that
Just to elaborate on Shlup's last option, put the font in a folder other than C:/Windows/Fonts, open the folder C:/Windows/Fonts, and click File -> Install new font, or something similar to that depending on your version of Windows. I assume you are using Windows.
