font download ????

I've asked this before too and never got an answer.

Anybody?

It's very simple... U just uncheck every box, there are 2 as u move forward with the download process... Back when downloading here made me uneasy, after completing the download, I'd run my Norton... But now I don't. I keep my laptop clean on a regular basis with several antivirus removers, exe are not always bad, u need to become familiar with the site and software you're downloading... There's other font sites that have the same download type as this... I used to skip on these fonts, and miss out on a font I wanted. Not anymore.

i dont see anything to uncheck only zip file above font to download (exe file)

hmmm Don't click on Save button, click the Run instead...
I think your hitting the Save, therefore saving the exe file to your pc

the following diolog box will have a checked box, uncheck it hit next.... there another checked box... uncheck and click next... at this point ur almost done downloading... u'll see downling happening, click Finished when download is complete

And THAT'S IT

The font most likely is saved on a zip file on ur desktop, at least that's how mine does, and I open the zip file and install the font by dragging the font doc into the font file in my Windows systems Font File, b'c I have Windows XP, but for Windows 2007/2010 I believe you click-open the font doc, and click Install on the upper righto-hand button, it'll automatically install and close... but you need to MAKE sure it is installed, then you can simply delete the font file saved on ur desktop...

the only option i have is save or cancel nothing to uncheck or open when i click on the download font zip icon above the font, its a font installer ? i was just looking for the font

I've also wondered that as well and is why to date I have never downloaded a font strictly from the Fonts101 site. (Just links to ttf's or otf's from the forums)

I tried the instructions MV outlined but I do not get the run option either and no boxes to uncheck. It must be a browser or operating system thing.

Same here, and it's perplexing as to why an exe is downloaded, and why no clarity is offered on this matter.

Jag?

I am having the same problem. I didnt use to but now I do.

Last year since so many newbies were asking how to download fonts the site started having exe files to help Windows users download fonts. Linux & Mac users are allowed to download the original font file in zip format.

Personally I think it's dumb idea have use exe file to download a font when every site only allows downloads of zip,tff or otf format. For Windows users my advice is download the font you want for a different site like da font ,1001freefonts, fontspace, etc.
