How To Upload Fonts In Photoshop?
Hey, graphic designers! Are you struggling to upload your designer fonts in Photoshop? It’s quite simple.
Fonts are easily findable with a quick Google search. Lots of websites offer free commercial fonts. But, be careful with ensuring that your font is able to be used for your purpose since many of them require licenses. The best go-to website for free commercial fonts is Pixelo.
Here’s the guidelines to upload fonts on Photoshop for both Windows and Mac:
Step 1: Search Font Resource
Search “free fonts download” or similar to find a site offering downloadable fonts.
Go to your font resource page. Here I go to Pixelo’s page. Click on Freebies on the top menu.
Then choose any of your favorite freebies. I choose “Storytella”.
You will see the Storytella freebie page. Now, click on “Buy Deal Now”.
Then go to “proceed to checkout”.
Then “Place Order” to get your font file downloaded for free.
You will see an order received page. Click the “Download Here” button beside your selected font.
Step 2: Save File
After you have downloaded your files, a dialogue box will appear, click “Save”.
Extract the font file if it’s in a Zip, WinRAR, or 7zip archive. Now double click to see some sample text files of different sizes.
Step 3: Install Font
Here is the step-by-step guide to installing fonts on Windows or Mac:
In Windows, Storytella OpenType box will appear, click on “install”.
For mac, Right-click on the font file and select “Install”.
Restart Photoshop, and any programs where you wish to use the new font. Double click on the font and it will show you the font using uppercase and lowercase A to Z, which included numbers with the button in the corner to install the font. This will then appear in your system-wide font book.
Step 4: Upload On Photoshop
Open Photoshop on your system. Search Storytella font on Photoshop text search box.
Step 5: Select Your Installed Font
See the left side of the Photoshop window, you will find the toolbar. On the toolbar click “text tool”. When you click on the “text tool” on the top left side of the Photoshop window, you will see font names will appear.
You have to write your installed font name on the text search box on the top section of your Photoshop application. Then, select the Storytella script font.
Step 6: Enjoy Typography
Now your settings are done for your desired font style. Try writing any text to see the visible results. Your newly installed font is now able to use across all of your applications.
It really is as easy as that.
Once you have installed them, usually, your programs will be able to detect these fonts. And you will be able to get using them straight away. But if they don’t, a simple restart to the program should do the trick.
