Control Panel>Fonts - look on the File menu for "Install Fonts" and point
the navigator that will appear to the fonts you downloaded.

If "Install Fonts" is missing from the menu in the Fonts folder, see:

The menu "Install Fonts" is in the Fonts Folder, allright, but I canot
copy/paste the downloaded font-files in there, nor can I look for them in the
List of Fonts

Why not? What happens when you try? Perhaps you should try downloading the
fonts again. Otherwise, please provide more details such as the file name
and file type of the fonts (ex. myfont.ttf). Remember that no one reading
your posts can see your computer. For all I know the font files you
downloaded are the wrong file type for your computer. If you can't see the
file extension (the last three letters after the "dot" in a file name), go
to Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab and uncheck the box that hides the
file extensions.

They have the ending .ttf and .TTF but I see, that the icons are not like the
other fontfiles, the look like a page from windows with many icons
 
In Windows Explorer, when you double click on the "page from windows" what
happens?

If I were you, I'd delete them. If you paid for them, contact the seller and
download them again. If they were free, I'd download them again - probably
from another source.

Hi Felix,

Can't you just "drag and drop" the fonts from desktop to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
folder?
That's what I do.
