    yeah i cant get photoshop to recognise or install any new fonts which is rather irritating

    so if anyone could provide some detailed instructions, i'd be most appreciative

      If you're downloading from dafont, you unzip the files and you should have truetype font files. Then go into my computer, windows C: or whatever your main hard drive is, go into WINDOWS and there's a folder called fonts which you drag the files into and they should auto install. Then they'll appear on the font menu for photoshop instantaneously. If they dont, close photoshop and reopen it. If that doesnt work, I have no idea whats wrong.

          No problem. I had the same problem when I was first using photoshop. I downloaded the fonts and I thought that was all I had to do :rolleyes:

          I was like 11 D:

            Alternatively, there's a shortcut to the Fonts folder in the Control Panel.

                  It doesn't matter whether it's XP or Vista, you have to install the Fonts before you can use them. I.E. transferring them to the fonts folder. Then you can use them in whichever photo editing program you want.

                        It's called the WINDOWS folder. It's not that hard to find. It's where everything related to system functions are, like the Fonts folder for example.

                          I know that Toasty. I was the one who explained it to Laharl. I know how all the fonts work etc, except I dont have the shortcut to them in Control Panel. I can reach the folder from my computer.
