Installing a font

[apasskey]

I have done this before but today for some reason, I can't get the new font I downloaded to work. Here is what I did:

I downloaded the file, then extracted it from the zipped folder. I put it in the windows > fonts. I rebooted the computer and checked the windows>fonts folder and the Darrian's Frames font files are there in the fonts folder - listed with all the other fonts. They do not show up on my list of fonts available in PSE4 nor in my Word fonts choices. They also don't show up in the Free and Easy Font Viewer list. Why? What did I do wrong?

Thanks for your help! Anne
