Crimsøn Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Im on OSX so it might differ slightly, but I think you should just be able to drag and drop the font from the source to the font folder (harddrive>library>fonts). Then they should show up in the drop down menu of fonts in photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Feets Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Are the fonts you using .SIT? Because if it is you'll need an encoding/decoding device. That, and I think winzip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48:16 Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 thanks for the help...Crimson's suggestion worked with some small mods for os9...i have no idea what you other guys are talking about. i'm computarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 You see, fonts are mainly for i586 computers... which means, S - O - L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 If you get Adobe Type Manager for OS9 you'll be able to avoid the mess of having to drop fonts individually in your font folder. That means you can keep them neatly organized in folders and families, and you can activate/deactivate them at will (so you don't have ten billion fonts on Photoshop's drop-down list, only the ones you want).

48:16 Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 thanks mams, i'll try that....in the meantime, somehow from installing all these fonts i've ended up slowing my computer down and fucking up something or other that makes Word close down and restart my computer every single time i try to open it. (it said there was a certain font that was corrupted so i removed it and restarted, now word won't open at all) WHAT THE FUCK? p.s. the fonts still work in photoshop. p.p.s if you are going to try and help me please don't use big computer words i don't understand.

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I dont really understand why this happened but if you're running windows defragmenting your hard drive always fixes a problem or two (defragment= MY COMPUTER>C:>RIGHT CLICK>PROPERTIES>TOOLS>DEFRAG. Besides that, installing many fonts on your system slows everything the fuck out cause its all getting loaded on the computers memory, actually thats why adobes type manager is so good. hope i kinda helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diggity Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 48, depending on what computer you are running, i would suggest updating your photoshop to 7 or CS and eliminate the os9 flip flopping. depending on how many fonts you have, suitcase is a great program for managing fonts. loading classic is SO last year...

ATM (adobe time manager) will save you future probs. You really dont want to add a mass of fonts directly into the fonts folder. All additional fonts should go in there onle Extra_font folder and be controlled by an font ap. mams is compusmart. and has a mean down rock from what i hear or make up.
