at your, already, installed fonts and determine what extension they have.
Then apply that extension to the fonts you received and see what happens.

A Mac user emailed me some zipped fonts. They don't open like fonts on my PC in Windows XP, though. Is there an extension I need to add to the file name? Or is there another way to make them PC compatible?
Thanks!
