MATH SYMBOLS

[vasilis]

hello.can we insert math symbols-equations-geometry shapes in PS 2018?

[hartpaul]

If you have a font that includes those symbols then yes you can use that font to add the symbols as required.
Set up a document and then choose a wingdings font and you will see a whole set of odd symbols replacing the normal keys. So if you can find a mathematical symbol font you can use this.

i don't understand exactly what do you mean

i don't understand exactly what do you mean

If your font includes these symbols then you can use them.

That is to say there are selection of fonts in your system, some of them are artsy, some of them formal.

Normally I would write them in Word and then paste into text area.

i don't understand exactly what do you mean

If you aren't sure what hartpaul was referring to, a "wingding" font is a font that basically consists of symbols, shapes, etc., not alphabetical and numerical characters. When you scroll through the fonts you'll find them near the bottom, named wingdings, wingdings1, wingdings2, webdings (which are icons), etc.

I believe that there are also some regular fonts that contain some math symbols but can't say for sure.

you mean fonts that exist by default in windows?

[hartpaul]

Windows comes with some fonts preinstalled. These are ones that most people would use + a few odd ones. eg Wingdings. In your PSP create a document and type in some of the letters and some numbers from your keyboard and apply. Do Control A to select all your text and then click on your Font and scroll (mouse wheel) down to see how each font looks.
You will then need to do a google search "fonts with mathematical symbols" to try and find a font that has the mathematical symbols you require.

windows have some fonts for math like cambria math.but still i don't understand.should donwload a new one?and how can i use it PS?Should i install new fonts in PS?And how can i do that?
ALSO hartpaul i was send you a private message

[hartpaul]

Well if you don't have the fonts available already then yes you should download the fonts that have the symbold you require and install them. That will then make them available to use in PSP.

also hartpaul as he says FLAGPOLE can i paste a text was creating with office word in PS and edit in PS?

[hartpaul]

Try it and see!!!!!!
If the font was available on the same computer so that you could print symbols using Word, then that same font should be available in PSP and if selected then you should be able to paste text created in Word using the same font.
