Question
How do i import fonts i found on the web into ill CS4....i have windows vista?

Answer
Hello Robert,

My recommendation make sure you trust the source before you download anything.
So with that said here is what to do.
Download the font
Then open Control Panel from the Start menu
Go to "Appearance and Personalization.”
Open “Fonts.”
In the Fonts window, Right Click in the list of fonts and choose “Install New Font.”
Navigate to the folder that contains the fonts you wish to install.
Select the font(s) to install.
Press the “OK” button to install the fonts.
Close the Fonts control panel when you are finished.
The fonts should now be installed.

Thank you,

Tom

I can answer Graphics questions related to Adobe Illustrator 9, 10, and CS. I also have Photoshop experience. Setting up files for printing is my main area of expertise. I am familiar with both PC and Mac platforms. No question is too silly. The only thing silly is a question not asked!
