Adding New Fonts to Illustrator and Photoshop

[Jeff Kelley]

On a mac, it’s whatever you computer has installed. You don’t add them directly to the programs. I assume a PC is just the same.

You just copy your new fonts into the Macintosh/Library/Fonts folder.
They will then appear in PS & any other text program. I found out by observation you can use tru type fonts on the Mac.

In Windows go to control panel/fonts and use the install feature.

Hey thanks guys.

That did the trick.

I’ve added fonts to my system, and restarted illustrator, but can see fonts in panel of illustrator. Should I uninstall/reinstall fonts again?

If your using a Mac, go to dafont.com and download your font file. Then go to, Finder/Application/Fontbook, then open Fontbook, drag and drop your downloaded file into the Fontbook “collection” panel – it should load your font with no problem. Then restart your Illustrator or Photoshop.

Please send me an email to let me know if this works for you-it worked for me.
