This guide is to help all of you that choose to use our tutorials at MacintoshTipz.com. This just requires a few simple steps, and will help you be more efficient in Photoshop and with our tutorials.

Fonts:

Open up your web browser and go to one of the following websites:
www.dafont.com
www.1001freefonts.com
(there are more out there, but these seem to work the best for me)

Find a font you like, and hit download:

After the download has finished in your downloads window. Open up your downloads folder.

Double click on the folder, and click on the “.ttf ” file. You should then be greeted with a Font Book window and a button that says “install font” in the lower right hand corner. Now you are done, and your font is installed!

Please note, with older versions of Photoshop and Illustrator you must completely quit out of photoshop for the font to be usable. CS3 and above don’t usually have that problem, but if you can’t find your font in your font list… you now know why.
