TIA....

In Windows go to Control Panel > Fonts and click File > Install Fonts to invoke the installation module. Navigate to the location of the font files and click OK. Now open Photoshop and you'll see the fonts.

Apr 15, 2009 09:00 | #5 You should be able to right click on a font file in any folder (that isn't already installed) and I believe there's an option to install it there. For future reference... although I could be wrong http://www.colorblindedphoto.com

Mine are loading up simply by dropping them in the folder I mention above. Perhaps this is an issue of earlier versions of windows but I was under the impression that the less things we have to install/add to the registry, the better--particularly if we're talking about hundreds of files(fonts).
