What happened to old fonts?

My old computer (windows 7) crashed and when I got a new one (windows 8.1) and downloaded the new version of gimp (2.8) one of the best fonts was missing. I use this font (victorian LET thin) for labeling products I make and now I can't even go in and edit previous versions of these labels I had saved. I have no idea how to write code or get a new font to work in the new version. Can anyone help with this? Perhaps in the simplest terms possible?

thanks

The fonts which ship with Windows varies from release to release. If you can't access the set of fonts on the hard drive from the machine that ran Windows 7 you will have to look somewhere else to try and find (or buy) a new copy of the font.

Once you have the font you just copy it to the Fonts directory under C:\Windows.

Cheers!

Kevin.
