This doesn't really seem like an Office question but...
What type of fonts?
The procedure you are using is good for True Type Fonts (*.ttf)

I downloaded some fonts from the Internet to my PC but I have been unable to
install them into the Fonts folder. I followed the steps below:
1-Unzipped the files
2-From fonts folder, selected File, Install New Font.
3-Highlighted desired fonts and selected OK

When this didn't work. I did the fix recommended below:
a-at the MS DOS PROMPT I typed attrib +s +r c:\windows\fonts
b-restarted the computer

This did not work either.

I'm not sure what to try next, any suggestions?
