ok i still cnt figure out how to use new fonts in adobe photoshop cs2 ive got my fonts dled and extracted. and i read something tht said to double click em. but all tht does is open the up for me to look at samples and i still cnt use. so how do i use them?
All you need to do is remember the name that the font is and then extract them to a place in Control panel the folder name "Fonts" and then they will be in PS when you get to it. Note: You CAN add them when the PS is open.
eh, either or... But with my way you also get to see these fonts in MS Word and Notepad and all your other font grabbing programs... with no extra space taken.
i just extract them somewehre like my docs and then i drag into fonts in contol pannell. the other way doesnt work for me.
okay go to a font site like dafont.com extract it from the rar archive there should be a font file put it in: my computer>C:>WINDOWS>Fonts just put it there and itll take like 1 sec to download now its in every application you can use fonts ie:// photoshop, word, etc etc
put it in fonts folder or click on it have it open and THEN open PS... I had to use the latter method to use 3rd party fonts at school last year, couldn't acess the windows folder on the damn comps...
just go into control panel and open up the fonts folder in the apperence section. upload the font in with that
If you have alot of fonts like i installed around 3000 i would go with the method of just putting them in photoshop instead of installing them into windows. If you pc isnt to good this would be best so programs like word dont take ages to open but if your pc is good then either way will do.
it's a matter of harddrive speed moreso than PC speed... and even then it's stupid to do it. I have the fastest consumer harddrive and I'd never fvck with that shid.
