fonts


Hi, ziggy.

This is what you have to do:
Unzip Fonts in Program Files>Common Files>Adobe> Fonts.
 
i just have programm files -common files -system ,do i have to extract them there ,and where do i see them in photoshop
 
mac or PC?
mac OS9, OSX, Panther, or Windows 98, ME, 2000, XPHome or XPPro?
Photoshop 5, 5.5, 6 or 7?

Where are you from?
 
me too, I'm from Europe.

When you download them, they are in zip format (fontname.zip). So first you have to unzip them with, for example, Winzip.

So have Winzip unzip them to the fonts file, or unzip them, and then place the unzipped fonts in the folder yourself.

In Photoshop, click on the text tool. A new layer will open. Click somewhere on the layer, and you can start typing.

You find your new fonts in the dropdown from the toolbar.
 
Ziggy if you are using Windows XP just unzip the font to
C/windows/fonts/ and they will show up in the Photoshop font list the next time you open Photoshop
 
If you have alot of fonts, I recommend using a font manager. I use Extensis Suitcase, and its great. It sits in my system tray and allows me to activate/deactivate fonts with a mouse click.
 
Yup. When you want them for all applications, you can place them in the Windows folder. Yet I have some fonts in there that PS refuses to load.
Chris is right about Suitcase. Me too I have it, and it is very handy indeed.
There are some free fontmanagers also, just try Google (free and fontmanagers)
