How to install the latest version on Windows #15

How do I install the latest version of the .ttf on Windows?

This font is super cool, and retro-tastic!

The problem is I'd love to get the most updated (v3.02.9) ligatures from something like http://www.fixedsysexcelsior.com/fonts/lastest.ttf or have clear instruction on how to install them in them in the Readme. (It was a but fuzzy for me if i had to install python and then this 3rd party tool, https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools, etc. )

You've got a cool thing here, and I'd hate to have people miss out on it because the barrier to entry is kind of high. Can you dumb it down for us consumer types? 😉

You can get the latest version here: https://github.com/kika/fixedsys/releases/latest, download FSEX302.ttf

I'm not using Windows atm, but if I recall correctly you just have to download the .ttf file, double-click it and hit Install.

@iiiGerardoiii Thanks for pointing out the obvious, seriously. 😃 I downloaded the zip of the souce and dug around only finding the .ttx file and was confused as to why the .ttf wasn't in there, but I overlook it on that release as it's own file.

So yes, this works as expected, just a double click and away you go.
