# Haha nicely!
:D

Help me: I have unzipped a new font and copied it into my 'Fonts' folder,
but i can't find the font in the folder once i've copied it,
and it doesn't appear on photoshop, anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

# right-click on unzipped file
should say "install font" or something

# was photoshop running when you put the font in?
and is still running?

if so, close photoshop, and restart it

if not, I got no idea

# sounds like you did it right to me
have you tried doing it again just to see if it says it's already there

edit/ i've often found that the fonts are not called what the zip file says they are, bastards

# yes, and it just says it's copied again.
no change from the first time.

turning it off and on again?

Or just go to "Fonts" in control panel, install new font.

# when I extract a
new font to my /fonts folder, it wont initially appear in 'shop or illustrator (which I will no doubt have open already waiting to use the font), however if I go to my font folder and press refresh it becomes usable.
