ClickFont – One Click Font Install

The process to install fonts on Windows is somewhat lengthy, especially if you have multiple font files to install.

Chrome Nightly: mini_installer.exe isn’t updating

So if you’re having trouble with the mini_installer.exe, just right click the exe, goto Properties. Then goto the Compatibility tab and then choose Windows Vista. No matter if you delete the mini_installer.exe, the settings should stay the same for any mini_installer.exe in that same folder (Desktop?). …
