Use Windows control panel/fonts.

Select - File, Install New Font  - from top menu.

Browse to your font.

Getting good fonts can make all the difference, but be prepared to actually draw some by hand sometimes, as some lettering just has no equivalent modern font.

Handrawn still looks better than the wrong font... in fact, many of the original airplanes were hand-lettered, so it's not that much of a stretch.

To my eye, nothing kills a skin faster than seeing Arial Bold on it. :(
