Adding Fonts to PSP

[vegaslights]

Hi, I am new to PSP and would like to add some fonts to the application. How would I do it?

I believe PSP just pulls from your fonts installed on your computer so if you load the font into your control panel under fonts in should work. It has been a while since I have done it so if I am wrong someone correct me.

Colleen,

You are correct ... just add fonts to your Windows font folder and Producer will install them as well. Be careful on the amount of fonts you loadinto Windows as it will start to slow down your computer.

Two things to be aware of with adding fonts:
1) Apparently LOTS of fonts will significantly impact your system
resource wise.

2) I have not experimented with it, but I have heard that
Proshow will not see new fonts until after you exit it then
restart (people have minimized Proshow, added fonts then
not seen them when they looked). Just a couple of things
that may avoid pulling your hair out if you run into them

Mikey -- I'm pretty sure I've seen that. Behavior is like ProShow cache's the font list, tho' I can't think of any good reason why it should do that since it's going to use a standard Windows function to access the font folder whenever it needs to.

Proshow is slow in refreshing the cache of any directory or folder. If you rename a folder, move it, or add new pictures, you'll only be able to see it if you get out of the directory and re-enter.
I think that with fonts it's the same.

I don't think proshow will display otf (open type font) fonts. At least, I can't seem to get them displayed on my system. If you are having problems, look in your font fold and if it has a suffix of .otf, that may be the problem.
