I installed some fonts on my computer (actually... copied them to the fonts folder) rebooted the comp but they just won't work.
I may be stupid but what the feck am i supposed to do to use them?
yerssot
normally you just have to copy them into your c
windows\fonts directory
what version of word are you running?
Vampy
hm... i don't know, really
I want these fonts in my photo impression anyways
Vampy
i don't know, that's the deal. i can't install them and i want to use them in Photo Impression. or at least in Photoshop
yerssot
the fonts used in your applications are generally all in a system folder located at C
WINDOWS\Fonts (on a windows machine obviously...what OS arer you running?)
when placed in this global location any application can use them.
is the font in the word application on the same computer as the photoshop?
(each computer generally has different sets of fonts so the comp that you are working on may not have the same font that the client has in mind)
if not...what you need to do is take a copy of the font file from them and place it in the font folder on your comp and restart photoshop and it should appear in the fonts list.
Vampy
well there is a problem
a) i don't know what OS is
b) i don't have a 'windows' file on 'C' drive
c) i copied it to the fonts folder i have in the start menu. and it doesn't work, apparently
yerssot
a) Operating System, which version of Windows or some sort you are running
b) where did you install windows then? or your OS?
c) then there is probably something wrong with the fonts folder or it's not the real one
TOH
Start menu, select Settings - Control Panel, them copy the files( fonts) to fonts folder

The best thing to do is search your system for the FONT folder, it'll be an icon that looks like a file folder, and copy the fonts in here. Then restart your computer, and everything should work fine. Otherwise, my only thought here is that these fonts are conflicting with others and that's the reason they won't work. START ---> SEARCH ---> type "FONT" ---> locate FONT file folder ---> open folder ---> copy fonts.

Actually the best method is:
Click Start->Control Panel->Fonts
It should open up the fonts window. Now click
File->Install New Font
and then select the font you want to install.
Vampy
you see. i don't have the 'install option either
i don't understand this at all

Let me ring in another two cents here. Do a search for FONTS, locate the file folder, and drag your font file into the folder. That works for me.
