Good evening K.S.

I know web safe is the best bet - however I am interested in downloading a couple of free fonts from resources at Smashing Mag. When downloading (for instance Fontin Sans) - I extract the winrar file to my desktop. When opened - it has a copy of all the fonts as seen on the page. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

 

 

As always - thank you

Brian

Thanks Ben

 

The names list as follows:

 

Fontin_Sans_B_4 FACCCE8

B_I 379E1376

I_4 644287B7

R_4 02RB155

S_C F6E3F4A3

 

The type shows OpenType Font File. Hope I listed correctly....

Maybe that will work. When I open it up from the desktop it shows all the different font weights for that font - (like it shows from the page I downloaded from.).

 

thanks again Ben

If you unzipped them directly to your font folder, they probably are fine and installed. Restart Photoshop, and they should show up. If not, try extracting the font files to your desktop instead, and then copying/pasting them into the Windows/Fonts folder.

I have got to be the biggest nuisance on K.S....

 

I am still un successful in downloading fonts. No matter which Font I attempt to download I am un successful. Here is what I am doing:

 

Downloading

Opening with WinRar

Extracting all to Fonts folder

I open up the file in Fonts folder and it shows the font in different pixel sizes (normal)

I open up Photoshop and the font is not in my drop down

 

I attempted to extract to the desktop - copy and paste into the fonts folder - but it states the file already exists - replace? (I say no)

 

Is it the type of file I am trying to open? My resource is well known Smashing Mag..

 

thanks

Brian
