Current Version: 6.0 As more Rush fonts are found, they will be included here. If you have any fonts to contribute, please send an e-mail to "rushfonts at 2112 dot net". |
Windows Installation:
For the cleanest installation we recommend downloading and unzipping the fonts to a temporary location of your choice and installing using your Windows Control Panel. On your Start Menu, go to Settings and open Control Panel. Click on the Fonts icon which will open the Fonts folder. Using the File pull-down menu, activate the Install New Font function. A dialogue box will open which requires you to browse for the font to be installed.You can also just drag the unzipped fonts to the c:\windows\fonts folder. The font "should" install automatically. After the font has been installed it will be available in any program that lets you choose a font. This method may require restarting Windows for the fonts to register.
You can also unzip fonts directly into your c:\windows\fonts folder, but you'll have to open your fonts folder and refresh it. If all else fails, restart your machine!
Macintosh Installation:
Most of the Rush fonts are true type fonts which work equally well on both PC and Mac platforms. In fact, the My Favorite Headache font is a Mac system font. The non-truetype fonts included in the Rush fonts collection will not work on a Mac. To install the trutype fonts, first close all programs. Unzip the file and paste the fonts into your font folder located at Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts.
Note, if you receive a message stating that a previous version of a Rush font is already installed on your machine, we recommend deleting the old version and installing the new ones.
