Photoshop Fonts And Windows
Jul 17th, 2010, 10:23am
 
Hello
 
Just a small tip as I was poddling around today cleaning my system
 
As we know Photoshop only comes with a basic set of fonts, and you can donload thousands
of royalty free ones, and placing them in windows - fonts, but steadily it will grow and grow,  
the system gets a bit idle eventually etc and all that... and you want all your photoshop fonts
nice and neat in one place and all your windows system fonts different in their original place.
 
You can do this instead as photoshop has already set it up for you:
 
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
 
The good thing about it is that you can keep your font collection to above 1000 like I am, and not have to sacrifice preformance by installing them into the Windows FONTS directory. The only  lips sealed BAD Shocked thing is that Photoshop takes a lot longer to load. But you might be really organised and it would work
better for you... it works on all 5.0 - cs5
 
Hope it is of some help
 
Hugs Moonie

Thanks for the tip Moonie!
 
These days you don't seem to have to touch anything to get double or triple posts with proxy error.  The same has happened to me.  I'll get the error, won't touch anything and just go to the forum to make sure it posted and see it did so more than once...grrrr is right.
 
Have a great day Moonie!

You can also get a font management program...there are some that are available free.  The one I use will install a font temporarily so after I'm done using it it will just go back into the uninstalled collection.

The program I use is "AMP font viewer".  It shows me all of the installed fonts on my computer and all of the uninstalled fonts.  I just go through the list and install the font temporarily right through the program.
