To download these fonts, **right-click** on the following two links, first to the one and then to the other, and select the command "Save Target As..." and then specify a folder on your hard disk : random.ttf and here: random2.ttf. On a PC, these font files should be in your Windows/Fonts directory, which they will occupy once the font is installed. Once the two files are on your hard disk, to add the font (which will then be available to all your programs, of course) Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Fonts > File . . .

Sorry: these are still the days of ridiculously complicated computing. Once you've done this, click your browser's refresh or update button. A sign the font is NOT installed: is NO accent marks.
