Can add a new font to my existing font list?

Post by lovpeppard »

I'm using Paint Shop Pro XI. I do photography and make a watermark using the text function. I would like to add the font I use in every other thing I do. How can, or can I, do this?

The font is called Arabian, and I've been using TTF fonts. Thanks

Load the font in the Windows Fonts sub-folder -- that's where fonts go and PSP merely uses the fonts in Windows...

Ken Berry, Thanks. It is on my fonts list in Windows (Word and Wordperfect), but doesn't show up on the PSP list. Which is why I'm puzzled. I'll try again.

Is Arabian actually a European character set or is it indeed Arabic script?

It would help if you could give a link to the font - where you obtained the font, so others could test it. Otherwise we are in the dark.

It is an English font done in harem sort of script... all flowery and flowy. It has always been a True Type font. I've had it on every computer I've owned since the early 90's. I have it on this one. PSP just doesn't show it in the list it brings up. I think this time I had to go to internet to pull it up and that was months ago. Seems strange every other program on my computer recognizes it except PSP is what I'm saying. It is a trademark of my signage. Word, WordPerfect, etc. all recognize and accept it . I'll see if I can get an image of it to clarify.

I can't get a copy of it over here. It is an older font, but is still in use.

Thanks.

Is it like this one, which I found on a free font site. It's called Arabian. I installed it in Windows and it shows up in my PSP X6...
