So I recently purchased an iMac for graphic design purposes, and I just discovered that Century Gothic is a Windows font that comes pre-installed. I can't seem to find the Century Gothic TTF file anywhere for free. I obviously don't wanna pay for a font! And these sites aren't just 10 dollars, they all range from 30-100 bucks. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks for your help.
Got a tip for us?

I've actually already seen that link, the thing is that it's actually not a TTF file.. it's a document that opens up in Text Edit or something? I can't install it via font book. But I'm still a newbie to my iMac, so does it work for you? And how did you install it?
Not sure what's not working for you; at the page linked above if I click "Download Here" I get a nice .ttf file that opens in FontBook if I double click it. Using Safari 4--maybe you've got another browser that's choking on a redirect or something?
Also, note that Century Gothic seems to be a not-free font that MS is licensing for Windows; this page links to a bunch of different places to buy legit copies for around $30:

OH! Thanks! Yeah it was my browser, I've been using Firefox. But thanks for telling me that, because i wouldn't have guessed. You can close this thread if you'd like
Once downloaded and opened, this window should appear:
Just click Install and it should work.
