Help w/fonts

[Devin P Browne]

OK, I'd like some help with a basic question regarding fonts and Windows
computers (Windows 95, specifically).  At my school I have access to the
gifted program's computer lab.  All Windows machines.  I know how to
download fonts onto a Mac, but I need a few things addressed before I try
to do so on a machine which is not mine:

1)  I want fonts that correspond phonetically with the letters on the
American keyboard (more or less, of course!);  I'd like basic fonts and
cool-looking fonts.  Can anyone tell me about any of these I can download
from the net which I can know for sure are the types of fonts that I want?

2)  I know on a Mac I can just dump fonts into the font folder.  I was
told that this is now similar in Windows 95.  But do I need anything else
to go with it?  The few WWW sites I've checked always seem to imply there
are other techno-items that need to be installed as well.  Any clues?

I think that's all for now.  Any help that is sent my way would be greatly
appreciated.
