... Download your font from the Graphics Factory font library to a location on your computer, follow the instruction for download images if you don't know how to download the fonts because it's the same process (It doesn't matter where you save it).
Windows users will download a .ZIP file and Mac users will download a .SIT file, these need to be uncompressed before installing your fonts.
Second ...
... Unzip your Downloaded Font File. You must have a .ZIP (for Windows) or .SIT (for Macs) utility in order to continue from here.
P.S. Using Windows 7 you can unzip the file without installing WinZip by right-click and choosing Extract all.
If you don't have a zip utility you can download one now from the links below.

Right-click the .ZIP file you downloaded from Graphics Factory and select Extract to Folder... That will extract the contents so you can use the font file.
After you click Extract to folder WinZip will create a new folder in the same directory you're in. It will be named the same as the .zip file.

Put your font files into /Library/Fonts (for all users), or into /Users/Your_username/Library/Fonts (for you only). If your OS includes the Font Book, you can as well double-click on a font file, then a preview pops with an "Install font" button.
