Ummm, not sure what you mean but click text (looks like "T" in the toolbox) and drag a box on the orb to create a square. Select font,size,color... on the top...

To install new font go to: Control panel->Fonts-> Click File- Instal new font and choose the font you downloaded.





Thats as much as I can help...Everything that has to do with photoshop(color,texture,shadow) i am not good with

unzip the font in the map C:\\WINDOWS (or WINNT)\FONTS

if u have photohop open while doing this, u might have to save your sig (as .psd) and close photoshop and start it back up

Do you mean text effects?

Click on the text layer, then on the layer toolbar click "fx" and play around with those....

if thats what you mean...

Ok, here's what you do...

1: DL the font you want
2: Open the unextracted file, and extract it (you'll see the button)
3: Open the extracted file, and you should see text's icon (if you click on it, it will give sample letters of the text ie "The quick brown fox...".
4: (If you use Mac too bad) Click start and open your control panel
5: Find the Fonts folder in your Control Panel
6:Open the Fonts folder
7: Drag the text file you just DL'ed to the Fonts folder and wait for it to finish transferring.
8: Go on PS and use your new font.

If you already have the font just do. Go to
C:\\Windows\Fonts
Then put in the font file, and you should be ready to go.

once you have installed the font it should be in photoshop. if not try restarting photoshop and if that doesnt work try restarting the computer.
