the fonts used in your applications are generally all in a system folder located at C erm

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.

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

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.
