How to Add Fonts to Photoshop in Windows & Mac (Step by Step Guide)
A constant stream of custom fonts is crucial to any artist’s workflow. Thanks to social media, even traditional artists will need to know at least the basics of typography. You don’t want to be stuck using the default fonts over and over again.
Today, we will be covering how to add fonts to Photoshop for both Mac and PC. Installing fonts is both quick and inexpensive.
We’ll be covering how to install custom fonts from websites, as well as Adobe Font. This is the premium font site that comes included with Photoshop. Get ready to supercharge your workflow, and download some fonts!
How to Add Fonts to Photoshop in Windows
Step 1: Choose a Font Site and Download the Font
Download a font from a site such as dafont.com.
There are thousands of custom fonts, some free and some paid. If using a font for commercial use, be sure to double-check the licensing, as many free fonts are only available for personal use.
Step 2: Extract the Downloaded Font File
With the font download, extract the font onto your computer’s desktop. The font will likely come zipped in a .ZIP file.
To extract a .ZIP file, double-click the .ZIP and then drag and drop the contents onto the desktop.
Alternatively, you can select the .ZIP file and then Right Click > Extract All.
Step 3: Install the Font on Windows
Option 1– Now, select all font files and Right-Click > Install for all Users.
Once installed, you can delete the font files located on the desktop and the original .ZIP file.
Option 2 – If the Install for all Users option is not showing in the right-click menu, then you can manually place the fonts inside of the Windows font folder.
Open Control Panel and then Appearance and Personalisation.
Open the Fonts folder and drag and drop your font files from the desktop into Fonts.
Step 4: Refresh the Type Tool and Use Your Font
With the fonts installed, open Photoshop and double-check that they were installed correctly by searching for them in the Fonts dropdown menu.
However, if Photoshop is already open, you do not need to restart it.
If the Type tool is active, switch to a different tool and then back to the Type tool. If the Type tool is not active, simply select it.
The Fonts dropdown menu will refresh, and your font will be active.
How to Add Custom Fonts to Photoshop in Mac
Step 1: Download and Extract the Font onto Your Desktop
Next, you’ll learn how to add fonts to Photoshop on a Mac.
First, download and extract the font file onto the Desktop. Make sure all font files are unzipped and loose.
Step 2: Install font into “Fonts” Folder.
Option 1 – Next, either Copy or move all font files into one of the following locations:
If you want the font to be available for all computer users, put the fonts in this destination: /Library/Fonts/
To install fonts for only a single user, install them in: /Users//Library/Fonts/
Fonts must be loose in the destination folder, not zipped or in a subfolder. If your fonts are not showing up, double-check to make sure they are in the correct folder.
Option 2 – Alternatively, you can double-click the font name to open the Font Book application.
Click install font. Once installed, you can delete any font files on the desktop.
Step 3: Refresh the Type tool in Photoshop
You can see if your font is installed correctly by opening Photoshop, refreshing the Text tool, and searching the font name in the Font dropdown menu.
You can refresh the fonts drop-down menu by switching from the Type tool to a different tool, and back again.
How to Add Adobe Fonts to Photoshop in Mac & Windows
Here’s how to add custom fonts to Photoshop using Adobe Font. Adobe Font, formally known as Adobe Typekit, is a collection of licensed fonts that are included with every Adobe Creative Cloud plan.
All fonts on Adobe Font can be used for both personal and commercial use. There are thousands of fonts available in the collection.
Though keep in mind that the fonts do change, with old ones leaving and new ones being added periodically.
Step 1: Open Adobe Fonts
While logged in to Creative Cloud, open Photoshop and click the More From Adobe Fonts button in the Font dropdown menu.
Step 2: Activate Font and Font Styles
Choose the font you want to download, and then Toggle on Activate Fonts to activate all of the font’s different typefaces and weights.
You can also choose to only activate some of the font’s styles, while leaving others inactive, which will help keep your Fonts dropdown menu shorter and better organized.
Step 3: Search for and Use the Font in Photoshop
Once activated, go back into Photoshop and search for your font by name.
Adobe fonts download automatically and sync across all Adobe programs, as long as you are logged into Creative Cloud and have an Internet connection.
OTF vs TTF
Both OTF and TTF are files containing fonts. Almost all modern applications, including Photoshop, can use OTF and TTF font files together and interchangeably. So what key differences could they possibly have, and is one better? Depending on who you are, a lot, and yes!
TTF (TrueType Font)
TTF stands for TrueType Font, an older font file extension. Created by both Apple and Microsoft to help standardize font files between the two operating systems. TTF set the standard for what font files are today.
OTF (OpenType Font)
OTF was also a joint effort, but between Adobe and Apple, coming years after TTF. And while OTF contains all of the features that TFF does, it also has more. This includes increased storage that allows for up to 65,000 characters. These extra characters give OTF fonts advanced typesetting features.
Which is better?
OFT has more options and features that are crucial to the work of both typesetters and designers.
With that said, if you aren’t a graphic designer or typesetter, you are likely never going to use or notice these extra features. If OFT is an option, then use it. However, if a font only contains a TFF file, then that will work just as well.
Conclusion
That’s how to add fonts to Photoshop. Whether you’re using a Mac or PC, installing a custom font is quick and easy. Just download and install. Good luck using your newly installed fonts in all of your future projects!

That again was no use: he but got another smile and a friendly look of the sort he no longer wanted. I said I thought I could gallop if Harry could, and in a few minutes we were up with the ambulance. It had stopped. There were several men about it, including Sergeant Jim and Kendall, which two had come from Quinn, and having just been in the ambulance, at Ferry's side, were now remounting, both of them openly in tears. "Hello, Kendall." We have this great advantage in dealing with Plato—that his philosophical writings have come down to us entire, while the thinkers who preceded him are known only through fragments and second-hand reports. Nor is the difference merely accidental. Plato was the creator of speculative literature, properly so called: he was the first and also the greatest artist that ever clothed abstract thought in language of appropriate majesty and splendour; and it is probably to their beauty of form that we owe the preservation of his writings. Rather unfortunately, however, along with the genuine works of the master, a certain number of pieces have been handed down to us under his name, of which some are almost universally admitted to be spurious, while the authenticity of others is a question on which the best scholars are still divided. In the absence of any very cogent external evidence, an immense amount of industry and learning has been expended on this subject, and the arguments employed on both sides sometimes make us doubt whether the reasoning powers of philologists are better developed than, according to Plato, were those of mathematicians in his time. The176 two extreme positions are occupied by Grote, who accepts the whole Alexandrian canon, and Krohn, who admits nothing but the Republic;115 while much more serious critics, such as Schaarschmidt, reject along with a mass of worthless compositions several Dialogues almost equal in interest and importance to those whose authenticity has never been doubted. The great historian of Greece seems to have been rather undiscriminating both in his scepticism and in his belief; and the exclusive importance which he attributed to contemporary testimony, or to what passed for such with him, may have unduly biassed his judgment in both directions. As it happens, the authority of the canon is much weaker than Grote imagined; but even granting his extreme contention, our view of Plato’s philosophy would not be seriously affected by it, for the pieces which are rejected by all other critics have no speculative importance whatever. The case would be far different were we to agree with those who impugn the genuineness of the Parmenides, the Sophist, the Statesman, the Philêbus, and the Laws; for these compositions mark a new departure in Platonism amounting to a complete transformation of its fundamental principles, which indeed is one of the reasons why their authenticity has been denied. Apart, however, from the numerous evidences of Platonic authorship furnished by the Dialogues themselves, as well as by the indirect references to them in Aristotle’s writings, it seems utterly incredible that a thinker scarcely, if at all, inferior to the master himself—as the supposed imitator must assuredly have been—should have consented to let his reasonings pass current under a false name, and that, too, the name of one whose teaching he in some respects controverted; while there is a further difficulty in assuming that his existence could pass unnoticed at a period marked by intense literary and philosophical activity. Readers who177 wish for fuller information on the subject will find in Zeller’s pages a careful and lucid digest of the whole controversy leading to a moderately conservative conclusion. Others will doubtless be content to accept Prof. Jowett’s verdict, that ‘on the whole not a sixteenth part of the writings which pass under the name of Plato, if we exclude the works rejected by the ancients themselves, can be fairly doubted by those who are willing to allow that a considerable change and growth may have taken place in his philosophy.’116 To which we may add that the Platonic dialogues, whether the work of one or more hands, and however widely differing among themselves, together represent a single phase of thought, and are appropriately studied as a connected series. Before entering on our task, one more difficulty remains to be noticed. Plato, although the greatest master of prose composition that ever lived, and for his time a remarkably voluminous author, cherished a strong dislike for books, and even affected to regret that the art of writing had ever been invented. A man, he said, might amuse himself by putting down his ideas on paper, and might even find written178 memoranda useful for private reference, but the only instruction worth speaking of was conveyed by oral communication, which made it possible for objections unforeseen by the teacher to be freely urged and answered.117 Such had been the method of Socrates, and such was doubtless the practice of Plato himself whenever it was possible for him to set forth his philosophy by word of mouth. It has been supposed, for this reason, that the great writer did not take his own books in earnest, and wished them to be regarded as no more than the elegant recreations of a leisure hour, while his deeper and more serious thoughts were reserved for lectures and conversations, of which, beyond a few allusions in Aristotle, every record has perished. That such, however, was not the case, may be easily shown. In the first place it is evident, from the extreme pains taken by Plato to throw his philosophical expositions into conversational form, that he did not despair of providing a literary substitute for spoken dialogue. Secondly, it is a strong confirmation of this theory that Aristotle, a personal friend and pupil of Plato during many years, should so frequently refer to the Dialogues as authoritative evidences of his master’s opinions on the most important topics. And, lastly, if it can be shown that the documents in question do actually embody a comprehensive and connected view of life and of the world, we shall feel satisfied that the oral teaching of Plato, had it been preserved, would not modify in any material degree the impression conveyed by his written compositions. breakfast in the kitchen by candle-light, and then drove the five The bargaining was interminable, something in this manner:— Then follows a long discussion in Hindi with the bystanders, who always escort a foreigner in a mob, ending in the question— There was a bright I. D. blanket spread on the ground a little way back from the fire, and she threw herself down upon it. All that was picturesque in his memories of history flashed back to Cairness, as he took his place beside Landor on the log and looked at her. Boadicea might have sat so in the depths of the Icenean forests, in the light of the torches of the Druids. So the Babylonian queen might have rested in the midst of her victorious armies, or she of Palmyra, after the lion hunt in the deserts of Syria. Her eyes, red lighted beneath the shadowing lashes, met his. Then she glanced away into the blackness of the pine forest, and calling her dog to lie down beside her, stroked its silky red head. The retreat was made, and the men found themselves again in the morning on the bleak, black heath of Drummossie, hungry and worn out, yet in expectation of a battle. There was yet time to do the only wise thing—retreat into the mountains, and depend upon a guerilla warfare, in which they would have the decided advantage. Lord George Murray now earnestly proposed this, but in vain. Sir Thomas Sheridan and other officers from France grew outrageous at that proposal, contending that they could easily beat the English, as they had done at Prestonpans and Falkirk—forgetting that the Highlanders then were full of vigour and spirit. Unfortunately, Charles listened to this foolish reasoning, and the fatal die was cast. "They said they were going for our breakfast," said Harry. "And I hope it's true, for I'm hungrier'n a rip-saw. But I could put off breakfast for awhile, if they'd only bring us our guns. I hope they'll be nice Springfield rifles that'll kill a man at a mile." "Dod durn it," blubbered Pete, "I ain't cryin' bekase Pm skeered. I'm cryin' bekase I'm afeared you'll lose me. I know durned well you'll lose me yit, with all this foolin' around."

Boarzell became theirs, their accomplice in some subtle, beautiful way. There was a little hollow on the western slope where they would crouch together and sniff the apricot scent of the gorse, which was ever afterwards to be the remembrancer of their love, and watch the farmhouse lights at Castweasel gleam and gutter beside Ramstile woods. "Yes, De Boteler," continued the lady, "I will write to him, and try to soothe his humour. You think it a humiliation—I would humble myself to the meanest serf that tills your land, could I learn the fate of my child. The abbot may have power to draw from this monk what he would conceal from us; I will at least make the experiment." The lady then, though much against De Boteler's wish, penned an epistle to the abbot, in which concession and apologies were made, and a strong invitation conveyed, that he would honour Sudley castle by his presence. The parchment was then folded, and dispatched to the abbot. "A very pretty method, truly! You know not the miners and forgers of Dean Forest!—why I would stake a noble to a silver-penny, that if you had discovered he was hidden there, and legally demanded him, he would be popped down in a bucket, to the bottom of some mine, where, even the art of Master Calverley could not have dragged him to the light of day until the Forest was clear of the pack:—but, however, to speak to the point," perceiving that the steward's patience was well nigh exhausted—"I saw Stephen Holgrave yesterday, in the Forest."
