 I cannot unzip the downloaded font files. I have tried winzip, windows XP uncompress, stuffit and zipfix. None of them recognize the files as valid zip files. I have also tried downloading them on a second computer with the same results.
The files seem very small, some as small as 8k with the biggest at 318k.
Any ideas?

in windows XP you can just double-click the .zip file and you will see the contents of it. THen you can drag the .ttf files that are inside on your desktop or straight into the c:\Windows\Fonts folder.
I am not sure what you mean by:

Please let me know if you are still having problems.

.zip is the extension of the compressed files... They are compressed to save space and have multiple files downloaded at once. For example, most of the fonts have readme files that come along with them and designers demand to distribute those files along with .ttf files.
To unzip, all you need is WinZIP (you can get it at http://www.winzip.com for free)
After you unzipped them you can install ttf's...

you dont have to put them on zip DRIVE... you have to UNZIP them
.zip is a compressed file format not a zip drive
to unzip .zip files you need winzip or similar program www.winzip.com
once you have the prog, double-click on the .zip file and extract the actual .ttf (font) files.
go to the location you chose to extract your font files to and copy them into your WINDOWS/FONTS directory
you might have to restart ioen applications to be able to use the new fonts
let me know if you need more help

The problem is that you there are files in your new zip that have the same name as files in the folder where you have extracted other zips. Most likely a read me document or internet shortcut file is contained in both the new zip and the other folder.
I recommend that you make a separate folder for non font files in the directory where you extract your zips. If you get the duplicate file warning for a .ttf or .otf file, it probably means you have downloaded the same font twice.
Many sites have a generic read me enclosed with each font download zip, and several have an interent shortcut included in the zip, as well. Sometimes the read me documents contain different text, but the file name is the same. Windows doesn't care what the contents of a file are. It just won't let you have two saved files with the same place, name, and type, even if the files themselves are different. .
The exeption to this rule is for temporary files. For example, if you have a lot of Internet Favorites, and if there are site specific favorite icons, you may have several different .ico files, all named 'favicon', in your Temporary Internet Files folder. If you copy them to a permanent location, however, you have to name them individually, or the most recent one saved will overwrite the previous one.

I have always wanted to create a real The X-Files fan-font based on the 9 season TV show, and the 2 feature films already released, so with the advent of the third movie to complete of this Trilogy, I give to you my latest font.
If you like it please donate....

Since you guys are SO smart with font id's, I thought some of you might be helpful in other areas as well. I am currently using yousendit.com to send larger files that I can't send over email. It is acting really weird for me today and I was wondering if anyone knew of another free website that I can do the same with. Thanks for your help!

you can use a program like winzip to unzip the .zip files. ( http://www.winzip.com )
then place the .ttf files that you extract from the .zip file into your C:\Windows\Fonts folder
