I am assuming that you are working with a windows box, so all you need to do it explore the cd, find the specific font file you want, usually they have a .ttf extention I think and copy that into your fonts folder found in "c:\WINNT" or "C:\Windows" depending on the windows distribution you are using. Downloading them works the same way. Once you've loaded the file into the fonts folder the fonts will automatically show up in your programs like WORD and EXCEL. Be careful though cause if you load too many fonts it will slow down your system. I have found anything much over 400 will really slow down the system, around 250 or so seems to be the max with no noticeable difference in performance, at least on my systems.​
