What font folder did you put them in, and what OS are you using. It should be the same for all OS's. Did you copy and paste all of them in?

do this:

1. Download the font you want. I suggest http://Fontz.ch

2. Extract the file, mostly .tff it will be. To C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

3. Go to that folder, go to View>Refresh.

4. Restart your computer.

5. Open up photoshop.

It should work. If it doesn't, get a new p.c biggrin:

OS = Operating System.

Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 98.. etc.

That also includes Linux and Mac OS as well.

I've always copy and pasted first. Then INSTALL the fonts by copy and pasting the fonts into the windows/font folder. I know on XP is shows the status of the fonts being installed and prompts you if there is already one there.
