Installing Fonts

[Brandon]

Today I am going to teach you two ways to install fonts to your computer. One for the entire computer or just Photoshop.

Download the font you want a good place is dafont.com

Entire Computer
Unzip the font should be a .ttf or .fon copy it and go to C:/Windows/Fonts paste the font there. The font is now installed for the entire computer.

Photoshop
Some times you just want a font in Photoshop. To do this unzip the font should be a .ttf or .fon copy it and go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts/ paste the font there. The font is now installed for Photoshop.

This may slow down Photoshop if you have many fonts installed in the Adobe Fonts Folder

Thats It! Happy Fonting!

There is a fonts directory for the GIMP too but I'm not exactly sure how it works...

...GIMP 2.0\share\libwmf\fonts

I started making a program that organizes and displays your font library and allows you to install/uninstall fonts, but I never finished it. Anyone think I should finish it?
