How to Add Fonts to Photoshop CS3 on a Mac

While the Mac operating system is packaged with a wider selection of fonts than Windows, there are still many fonts that you might want to add. Like Windows, in the Mac operating system you don't add fonts to a specific program, but rather to the operating system as a whole. Installing fonts is a very simple process in Mac OS X.

Instructions

1. Close Adobe Photoshop CS3. The program will not detect new fonts if it is running while you install the fonts.

2. Locate your downloaded or copied fonts in Finder.

3. Double-click your fonts archive file to automatically expand it in Mac OS X (most fonts are distributed in zip archives or other types of archival packages).

4. Double-click the individual font file that you want to load. Once you double-click it, it will open in Font Book. This will load it, ready for installing (fonts are installed to the "Library" directory in your main mac path).

5. Click "Install Font." Once installation is complete, open Adobe Photoshop CS3 to find the new font ready for use.
