New Fonts

[mjh2803]

How do you install a new font in photoshop. I downloaded it but all i have is a .tiff with the font. Do i have to drop it somewhere?

Greetings,

Yes you need to drop it into your fonts folder:

It's usual location is: c:\windows\fonts

Once there you can literally drop it into the folder to install the new font, or go to "file->install new font" and find the location of your newly downloaded font.

After you're done, you'll need to restart photoshop to see the new font(s).

Depending on the type of computer your using,

On the pc, just simply right click on the file, and drag it into the font folder in your control panel. It will ask you what do you want to do... Select create shortcut here, then just restart photoshop

Yeah, if your on a PC, then simple click Start--> Control Panel--> Fonts. Locate you font, and drop it into the folder. For the font to be in PhotoShop, Close Photoshop, and then re open it.


Hope this Helps
