Hello all,

Very new to all this font technology. I currently have on pre order the new CS3 premium production suite. As I understand it I will be getting additional fonts. Until then I am working on a project in photoshop CS2. When I look at the fly out menu in the TEXT panel the option for "open type" fonts is greyed out. I have Encore 2.0 and Premiere 1.5 as well.

My question is do any of these programs come with any extra fonts, open type or others that perhaps are not showing up in my photoshop CS2?

If so, how should I get them to use in Photoshop?

Thanks,

Mark

There is a Photoshop forum and you should be posting PS-specific questions there. However, if the OpenType option is greyed out in the character flyout, that simply means the font you are using is not an OpenType font. To use OpenType fonts in PS, install them into your OS as per usual for fonts or else install them into the Adobe fonts folder (in Windows, it's usually c:\program files\common files\Adobe\fonts, but I have no idea where it is on a Mac). Adobe apps usually do come with fonts, but they install themselves only to the folder above (or to an app-specific folder), and it's up to you to make them available to other apps via the OS.

Or via a font manager.

Well, a font manager still uses the OS to make the fonts available to the apps. It just offers a way to turn the fonts off without deleting or moving the files.

Dominic,

Understood, of course. Just posted that for clarity.

Yes, Creative Suite 3 Production Premium will come with a bundle of OpenType fonts. Details should be posted soon.
