Macs also have a Fonts folder. It is under System. Under OS9, fonts have to be converted, but the largest sites have a font conversion tool which usually works (PhotoShop6 has font problems). I'm not sure if the fonts will need conversion under OSX, since I haven't yet installed new ones on that beastie. After dropping the converted font or "suitcase" on the Fonts folder, you'll get a message saying that it will not be available to any program currently running. PhotoShop hunts for available fonts when it starts up; other programs probably behave likewise. BTW, thanks, Tom, an older site, but there were a couple of fonts that I'd missed seeing before. Carolly
