if you are using windows, you put the .ttf file (somethin like that) in "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts". After that, it should appear in the font choices. If not, restart photoshop.

You sure you put them in the Fonts folder? Make sure they are the right type also. If that doesn't work then....your screwed.
DaFONT said this:
Windows : Copy the .ttf, .otf, .fon files into C:\Windows\Fonts.

Well, i noticed that you have to put it in their manually. I tried extracting from .rar's but it never worked. You will see it install the font if it is working correctly.
