Installing a new font in Photoshop is pretty easy if you know how, unfortunately I didn’t, so I had to go sifting through a heap of articles on how to install a font using the Windows operating system before I finally found out how to do it on a Mac.
It is really a simple process, let me show you how to do it.
First step choose your font. I am going to download the free Museo font from Myfonts.com
Note: If you don’t have an account with Myfonts you will need to create one, it is very easy just follow to the normal sign-up process you would when signing up for any other site.
After signing up you will then get to download your font, make sure you save the file, click OK to continue.
The next step is to choose the location of your new font>
Note: I suggest creating a folder for all of your Photoshop Downloads, then create folders for each of the individual items you will use in Photoshop, ie; fonts, backgrounds, headers etc…
After downloading unzip the file, you can just double click on the file and it will automatically unzip or open it with the default Archive Utility (As Shown Below)
After the file has been unzipped double click on the font file.
You will then see the Fontbook window open, if you want to complete the installation just click on the Install Font button to continue.
Now, open up Photoshop and look at our list of fonts, just click on the type tool and look in the toolbar at the top of your screen…
We will now see that it has automatically been added to our list of pre-saved fonts.
Easy isn’t it
