Click on your folder on your taskbar:

Locate your Fonts folder then ding-bats: (I like stay organized and also like to keep my stuff on an external hard drive so that my computer don't get used up of space).

Once you have located your font folder and your font, Double Click on it.

You have to click on install to get the font into your PSP. You used to be able to install temporarily but Windows 10 has changed that as well.
