I have a windows 7 system and I installed the fonts to \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Required\PDFL\Resource\Fonts but when I go back into Photoshop, they are not there.   Can anyone help me out please?

    Correct answer theresaweb

    well I did a complete clean and I installed cs6 instead of cc, all old settings and workspaces were gone after I rebooted so I’m fairly certain it was a clean uninstall. Dropped file that I downloaded from google fonts into the folder but still does not show up. I’ll post here if I find a resolution


    Ok, I got a resolution after being bounced around and with support for several hours. They finally realized that I had to create a folder called "Fonts" in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and put the fonts there. I was thrown off because the Fonts folder already existed here, C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe, and I assumed that would be the place to put them. hope this helps

    Some fonts are installed in the regular fonts folder of windows as stated by many respected readers,Problem arises when the installed font in windows appear in all other programms eg in microsoft word,notepad---BUT REMAINS MISSING IN PHOTOSHOP--

    Thus question raised by readers is very justified and has not received justified answer.Sir,my object is not to offend anyone but I am trying to seek the solution from learned readers---Bakhshish Singh PUNJAB_INDIA

    No doubt Adobe Photoshop is one of the most famous and top ranking editing software and now you can also take advantage of cloud with adobe CC.

    I might suggest you a proper way to install fonts in Photoshop.

    It would be difficult to write & share pictures here so, this the place where i got my solution

    You don't have to restrain yourself to the limited fonts offered by Photoshop just download fonts from google & use them in photoshop.

    Is there a reason you don't just want to install them into Windows?

    Drag them into the (I think normally hidden) C:\Windows\Fonts folder in Explorer.

    What Noel said, plus, don't forget to check out Typekit if you have a CC subscription.
