font not working

[Rhyannon]

I buy or get free font bundles, in one bundle there was a font called Watermelon smile and Watermelon smile Fancy which in font book has a "regular" in a subfolder.

It came with OTF or TTF ,I loade otf on both of the fonts.

I opened a new file and started making a design with text and picked the watermelon smile fancy, regular is shaded out, I am not able to pick anything like bold or thin. I hit letters and they all look like small letter cased regular print, not fancy even though I have selected the fancy font.

I tried to copy and paste from font book the fancy small letter I wanted but it pastes it like it is the watermelon smile, not watermelon smile fancy.

So, I see it in font book but its not doing it in photoshop. IS there anything I am missing?

Thanks for the help

I do this google download Watermelon font

https://www.google.com/search?q=download+Watermelon+font&oq=download+Watermelon+font&aqs=chrome..69i...

Google finds 20,700,000 hits how do we find the needle in this haystack? It is a BIG stack.

I am also curious to know that whether we can use fancy fonts for Instagram posts or not while designing posts on Photoshop?

Hi @text and5EE4 

Yes, you can use "fancy" typefaces in Photoshop. When you have a subscription to PS, it includes Adobe Fonts. I don't use Instagram, but if you make a jpeg, then it is no longer live type; it is just pixels.

EDIT:

I just read the original post from 2017. The question was not about "fancy" typefaces in general; it was about two typefaces, one of which has the name "Watermelon Smile Fancy".
