How do I add new fonts to my Adobe elements 2

[Lee Trueblood]

I have down loaded new fonts in a folder and want them to be available in my elements font pull down tab but can't figure out how to get them in there..Does Adobe have other available downloadable fonts?

[Jodi Frye]

Adobe does not have it's own fonts. it uses the fonts that are already downloaded in your system.

[Elena Murphy]

Do you mean Elements doesn't ship with fonts? Because Adobe _makes_ thousands of its own fonts.

Lee, what platform are you on. It depends on that how to add new fonts.

[Jodi Frye]

hold on...I thought i knew how to get them in there without thinking but i forgot...either me or someone will let you know how...

[Jodi Frye]

windows; control panel>fonts. I just dragged from one screen to another...yes I remembered after I checked it out. :)

Copy the fonts in your \WINDOWS\FONT folder (if, of course, you're under Windows)

They'll show up after you restart your system.

Keep in my mind if you're running Windows 98 - fonts are loaded in memory at the computer start-up.
Meaning, the more the fonts, the less the memory for applications to use.

I know they do, Elena, but they don't seem to send any with PE. I was kind of surprised, since Photodeluxe came with some Adobe fonts, but I suppose they weren't willing to give the store away. After all, it's a pretty hefty chunk of photoshop for the money.

I was referring to Jodi's post where she said, 'Adobe doesn't have its own fonts." I just wanted to clarify if by "Adobe", she meant "Elements".

[Barbara Brundage]

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I thought it was really strange that you wouldn't be aware of that.

[Jodi Frye]

oops, that was an error. Excuse me. I did mean to say 'Elements' and not Adobe. I have a habit of thinking ' Adobe'.
