garndma diane Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi and boy do I need the help! I just purchased 3 new fonts and haven't a clue as to how to get them into my Photoshop Elements 10 program. I am using a Windows 7 version PC. Just like me to buy it and say "I'll MAKE it work!". Now I suffer. I'd really be Thankful for all the help I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Be sure PSE is closed. After you unzip the file, right click on the font file (the one that says Type: True Type font file) and click on Install. That's all there is to it. When you re-start PSE, the font should be listed in with your other fonts. HTH One thing I noticed with two fonts that I purchased was that the names of the fonts changed once I had installed them. Witty Font was listed as 'Eclectic' and Give it a Whirl Font was listed as 'Whirl New'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives me crazy because it's new so I forget the name "Eclectic" then forget to use it. I can't understand why the name changes once it's installed, but I"m glad it wasn't just me.

Nope, it's not just you. I made a note to myself and in my fonts folder with the new names so I when I want to use them I'll be able to find them. I just sent a PM to Syndee about it too.

ValerieT Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If you double click on the font file, a box comes up that shows what the font looks like (you can also install it from there). At the top it will tell you the name of the font, as it will appear in PSE, word, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndee Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sorry about that, it's my font authoring software, it's a bit persnickety. I tried to fix it but it's not letting me so I am going to have to redo the font in order to change the name. I will let you know when I have the updated version and send it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I open the Control panel and drag and drop into 'Fonts'. Did not know you could do it any other way. Is it the same for PSE9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonts are installed on your computer. Any program that is capable of reading them will use them, like PSE, word, etc. It doesn't really matter how you install them, if they show up in your program that's all that really matters.

Syndee Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ok, the font names are fixed just send me an email with your old font as an attachment and I will send you the re-named font(s). I added a version that is a bit more bold as well syndeescrapper@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Lynn Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Here is what I do after it is unzipped --- I have my unzipped font folder open and my program font folder open (side by side) and just drag the font over to the program font folder, that's all there is to it --- when you open PSE it will be there!

Elisha Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you have Windows7, it's super easy to install a font. After unzipping, double click on the font file. It will open a window that shows you what the font looks like in different sizes. At the top of that window, you have options to print and install. Click on the install button, and your font is installed. I don't know about PSE, but I don't have to close Photoshop - the font will show up in the list.

sanot Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 if there is a thread about this already please direct me to the right place, but when you're accumulated a lot of fonts how do you mange them all? are they all installed? how do you uninstall some that you don't think you'll ever use (like wingdings,etc)?

lindarobin Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 To delete a font in Win 7: Go to Control Panel, Fonts. Scroll through the list, select a font, click delete on the command bar above the fonts list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
