okay, so i get the whole concept of buying fonts (nothing really is free) but the downloading part...and especially using them...i'm lost. where do i download them to? how do i access them once i've got them and then how do i put them into action (ie: use them!) HELP!!!

First, take a deep breath and calm down.

Next - I'm sure abstractfonts.com has a help section for this. If not - you may want to refer to: http://www.dafont.com/faq.php

It will give you step-by-step instructions - whether you are on a PC or a MAC...

Then have a drink of wine and call in the morning...

P.S. You might want to consider changing your name. If you give yourself a moniker of "idiot" you may be trying to fulfill a prophecy...and live up to it. I'd rather see you as Computer illiterate with the desire to learn to become better and be educated :)

Sure it has. Click Website and help and you are there.

And right again Heron. On the other hand, CI, maybe better you wait till you have explored the help files of you operating system and your software. Those things are there for a reason: they help you find the answers on how to do things with a computer.

website -> help
or
bottom of the page -> help
