How do you load Downloaded Text files onto and USE in Photoshop CS2?

[syntex]

Text files as in .txt files?
And what do you mean use them in Photoshop CS2

[d7x]

i think he means font files.... if so copy them and go to Windows > FONTS and paste em there, they will auto install, open photoshop and go to your text tool and bam you got em!

[42Biohazard]

yea they are
.txt files

and Im sorry,i didnt there know there was a PSCS2 forum, i would have posted there,srry

one more thing though, in CS2, i looked under windows, but there wasnt a thing for fonts

Still need help

[PSgirl]

I'm afraid I don't understand what are the *.txt files in CS2 for...
The fonts directory usually is C:/WINDOWS/Fonts

[Bryn]

Are you windows?
Just open up my documents and in the address bar put ' Fonts ' ... its easier than putting the whole C:/WINDOWS/Fonts.
www.dafont.com and try and get some more instead of ur .txt files.
I though .txt files were writing like readme's and .NFOs, not fonts.

Im sorry, Im having trouvle understanding, heres what I did and what I want
1. I DL types of text from dafont, the files were .txt
2. I want to know how to Get them to work on CS2
3. Once they are changed, how do i load them onto CS2

If you doanload your fonts in C:/WINDOWS/Fonts then restart PSCS2 it will be loaded automatically

[Bryn]

If its in a .zip open the zip then right click on the text / fotn file and extract to folder then put in c://windows/fonts in the address bar... it is so simple but im porbably confusing you.

the .txt files are probably read me files and copyright files or something.

in the folder you should have a file with the extension .ttf which is the actual font file.

select this, and copy (cntrl+C).
go to c: -> WINDOWS -> Fonts in windows explorer.
paste (cntrl+V).

now open photoshop, and select the font tool. now go to the font type selector and scroll down till you find the name of the .ttf file you downloaded.

for example if it was called Stus_Font.ttf the scroll down to the font called Stus_Font

apologies if im patronising you...
