Choosing a font A font is a complete set of characters-letters, numbers, and symbols-that share a common weight, width, and style. When you select a font, you can select the font family and its type style independently. The font family is a collection of fonts sharing an overall typeface design; for example, Times. A type style is a variant version of an individual font in the font family, for example, Regular, Bold, or Italic. The range of available type styles varies with each font. If a font doesn't include the style you want, you can apply faux styles- simulated versions of bold, italic, superscript, subscript, all caps, and small caps styles. In addition to the fonts installed on your system, Photoshop uses font files in these local folders: Windows Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts Mac OS 9.x System Folder/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts Mac OS X Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts If you install a Type 1, TrueType, OpenType, or CID font into the local Fonts folder, the font appears in Adobe applications only.
