ok, when i download a font, i save it into the fonts folder, then i unzip it, then put it into the fonts folder. Then i go into PS and try to use the fonts and they arent there. Am i doing something wrong?

Try actually opening your Fonts folder, then using it in PS. That works for me.

ok when i try to open it directly it says cannot open then it says cannot open C:\Documentsandsettings......then the rest of the directory stuff where the font would go.

Don't open the font, open the font folder. C:\Windows\Fonts
