Adding fonts to Photoshop

**Guy** · May 09, 2007, 02:33 PM

Ok I ws wondering how do I add extra fonts to my photoshop? I have already downloaded a few fonts that I would like to put on so I would be most grateful if someone could help me

Surely photoshop detects the common list of system fonts, in which case simply extract your downloaded fonts to "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts" - after that they should be usable in photoshop (or anywhere else for that matter - ie word or whatever)

Yeah it uses the system fonts, although photoshop needs to be closed when you install them, otherwise it will add them the next time you start photoshop.

Photoshop has its own font folder , just follow its subdirectory paths and drop them in there that way they will show in the text dropdown menu when you boot up photoshop......also good site for fonts(mostly free and shareware fonts) is dafont.com. They also have tutorials and how too's for adding and creating fonts.

I recommend googling "comic fonts". It gets you alot of good, free, varied fonts with which to use for any application.

Simply install the fonts into the fonts folder in the control panel, fire up Photoshop, and they shall be there

Thanks for that but how do I save them into the file. Do use the download part yes?

You download the file then unzip if you have to. Go to your hard drive->windows->fonts and just paste the fonts in they will install themselves.
Photoshop uses your system fonts.
