Fonts?!?

I want to learn how I can download fonts and then use them in my work.

Like.. I'm pretty sure I could find sites to download them (although I would still like some sites that have fonts) but how do I get them to show up on a font list in say Photoshop or Notepad?

What folder do I have to stick them into on a Win2k machine to get them to work?

Also, one last thing. I've been told of a program that can pick the font out of any piece. Like, it can tell which font was used. However, I forgot the name of it.. Any help there?

I forget the last one, but I think it was on www.fonts.com

www.iconian.com ~ Great site for cool fontz.

RE: Fonts

Yo Cloud,

Personally I like to use www.iconian.com for all my fonts. From that page there are tons of links to other free font pages. All you have to do is download the font you want to your desktop or where ever you want. Unzip the file in the C:\WINNT\Fonts directory. I'm assuming that is the folder. If not try the C:\Windows\Fonts directory. In order for them to show up in Photoshop you must exit and re-enter the program (if you already have it open). I've found that if it isn't showing up then then I actually navigate to the actual font directory in explorer (C:\WINNT\Fonts) and refresh the page and it will pop up the next time i use photoshop (i know weird but it works!) Hope this helps!
