Install or Access new fonts

I am a newbie to Photoshop using CS on a XP system. On the contact II page I only see Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier listed as available fonts, despite the fact that I have many more fonts installed on my PC. The three fonts available do not print clearly at the 6 point settings I want to use for the contact sheet.

I assume that there must be a way to either have Photoshop access the other fonts I have on my PC or there is a way to install more fonts directly in CS. Would you please tell me how to do either or both?

Please provide specific instructions as I am really just starting.

thanks.

Copy all the fonts to your C:\%systemdirectory%\fonts folder.

Most likely, since you are on XP (unless you upgraded from NT or 2000), then you need to copy them to: C:\windows\fonts

When copying, you will see a dialog box that looks like this:


That way you ensure that your fonts are installed.

If you are still having issues after you try that, let us know and we can continue to troubleshoot your issues.

thank you for your response.

All of my fonts are installed in C:/windows/fonts and are readily available in Word for example. The problem is that CS only sees three fonts and I would like to change at least one of the fonts to one of the other fonts that I ahev installed.

I dont know but it could be a possilbilty that the cs verison has its own font folder?
You might need to check that out or something.
I dont have cs so ya.

Might also want to check the prefs in cs itself.

Sorry I couldnt be more of a help.

No, MCL, that wouldn't make any sense at all. CS uses fonts just like 6 and 7. I don't see why this is happening either. I'll try to figure it out later on.

Ehh, sorry about that then.
Im not using photoshop, im using paintshop pro8 (im 14 with limited money, not going to pay $600 for photoshop).
So that is why I couldnt help much. :(

Well I'm glad you didn't turn to pirating it, like most people without money do.
