Looking for a font (fairytale) type

[user name]

Ok I'm looking for a font or a psd that I've seen used in Once Upon a time fonts. It's a letter that is boxed in a decorative frame. I am probably not explaining this the best. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about and point me in the right direction

[flipper]

Flipper, some time a go my computer crashed and i had to intalled everything ... windows too.
My CS3 start to give some problems with the fonts types, and a couple weeks ago, "Z" give me a help / tip to install the font tyes again, what i did ( Extensis Suitecase) and thought i have the problem fix ... but no.
I had downloded some fonts from this site you have point in this thread.
They all came in zip files. Can you or someone tell me or explain how to install them, to use in PS ?
Big thanks.


Sorry for my english ...

Sxxo! just unzip those fonts and thery are good to go. just remember that when you unzip the file, pick only those one which have .otf (open type font) or .ttf (true type font) extensions. cuz some times they add a sample .jpg and/or info .txt which won't install in your windows font folder.

"Z", i allready have unzip the files, and choose only thoose with .otf or .ttf extention, and save them on the hard disk ... still don´t work.
Do i have to place them, in some directoty or in windows font folder ? How can i reach this place ?
My PS CS3 Portable, is working directly from the hard disk D:, maybe this is the problem.
As allways, Big Thanks for your great pacient.

You goto control panel and then select fonts folder... and copy/paste the fonts you need. portable cs has nothing to do with it. they'll work in that as well.

If your using win Vista/windows 7 right click the font and select install.

Otherwise copy the fonts to your font folder in the windows directory.

An other way to get there is to go to your control panel and select Fonts.

Still don't understand why Microsoft doesn't have the brains to do what Apple does to manage it's fonts...

If you want to install a font, just download it, then double click on it... then a window opens, click install, and it's added into the font book application.

All this with finding the font folder and copying and pasting is stupid, Microsoft really needs to learn the art of simplicity!
