How to Use TTF Fonts
TTF fonts are the type of fonts that web tv users can use. you use them in image magic. They are fancy words you can use in banners and images you make in image magic.

First of all to get a ttf / TTF font from my Holiday Font site just CC&P (CC&P Tutorial) the font url from the url box under whatever font you want to use. Use the CC&P the same way you do for images. To get the url from some TTF font sites it is different. To get the url of some click on the font banner or the word of the name of the font. A pop up will come up that says (The item chosen contains a kind of information that can't be used). Just click on continue when that comes up. Then click on your Go To button. Then click on Show Last and CC&P the font url. (Some fonts have lowercase TTF file endings and some have Capitals, Keep them what they are)

To use the fonts you click on annotate in Image Magic. After clicking on annotate you scroll down right below the font box. Don't click on a font in the font box. Then you put the url of a ttf / TTF font in the url box. Then write in the text box what you want to say in the banner or image you are working with. Put the color you want the font to be in the Fill Color box. If you want the font to be two colors then also put a color in the Stroke Color box. Put the size of the font you want in the Point Size box. You may have to go back and forth until you get the size you want. Well at least I have to. Then click on annotate. If you know how to use the Gravity and Location boxes then go ahead and put your corrordenates in the there. Other wise leave it a center for your first time. Then click on annotate.
I hope that helps you understand what a font is and how to use it. If you have any more questions just ask. I would be more than happy to help.
