where can i find some more fonts to use in Photoshop. I've done a lot of searching and i only find something called true type but it doesn't work in Photoshop. Also how do i install the fonts into Photoshop.

Install fonts in your C:WindowsFonts folder, and they'll show up in Photoshop next time you open it.

Oh, oops. And on Mac, I think it's SystemFonts. I'm too lazy to turn my Mac on and check.

What's your OS?? TrueType fonts should work for PCs, Mac may use a different type (like "OpenFace").

PS shouldn't have any problems seeing fonts that are installed into your font folder. PS needs to be closed when installing (dropping them into your font folder) the fonts because PS loads the FONT TABLE on launch and any fonts added after the table loads won't apperear until you restart the app.

reciecup.....it's always a good suggestion to install all fonts using the Windows routine, ie: going to Control Panel>Fonts>File>Install New Font...that way it's properly there and registered in your registry as I understand it. That way it's available across your whole computer to all apps.....

If you have fonts that you only want to use in Photoshop, install them in the Common Files directory. C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeFonts

In the AdobeFonts folder they will only slow down Photoshop in start up, not the entire system.

As for where to find fonts, online: some of my favorite freeware sites are: http://www.larabiefonts.com http://www.acidfonts.com/ http://www.1001freefonts.com/ http://www.dafont.com/ And for more listings, check: http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Fonts/

As it seems you run a Mac, there are likely less fonts for free available to you than a pc user would have....a qwiksearch on twingine.com revealed a lot of PS fonts[that's post script fonts ] but all for sale and none free...sigh...maybe some mac users can help out some.

The net abounds with free TrueType fonts tho...I personally have over 1000, tho not all are installed at once thru the magic of The Font Thing, a free pc font management tool I found online years ago...look that up if you run a pc by the way.....

I run system OS X on my Mac. I find fonts everywhere. I use ttf (true type) on my mac with no problems. I have over 1000 myself. After I load them to my desktop, I put them into library>fonts. Cinda
