Looking for a font

In article , says…

I’m doing a website for my Son, and he sent me a font he found in Photoshop that he’d like to use. I’m trying to find the font in Photoshop on my computer. Where are the fonts kept? I have a font reading program, and if I can find the folder, I can look at them all and find the one I need. Are the fonts used by Photoshop true-type fonts? Or does Photoshop just use fonts that are installed on the computer, so this might be a font on my Son’s system that he found using Photoshop? Thanks.
P.S. I’m using version 6.0

Adobe products can have some fonts loaded. In the days before CS, there were often quite a few, especially with Illustrator, and PageMaker. Looking at my system (XP, CS – Platinum, or whatever it is called), all of the "font" folders are empty. So, in my case, all fonts available to PS (or AI, or IND) are system fonts. Now, depending on your son’s system, they may be TTF, or PS. If you have the same OS, then you probably have most that he has. However, he may have many more. My list is now about 4500 with about 600 installed. If he has one that you don’t have, you can probably find it, though it might cost a bit of money.

Upload a jpeg of the font to alt.binaries.fonts and ask for an ID.

Thanks for the info. My Som came through and identified the fonts. I didn’t have them, but I "Googled" them and found and downloaded both. Now I have to find out how to do all the layer stuff he’s telling me about. I’m supposed to click Layer, then Layer Style but I don’t see Layer Style. Here’s what he’s telling me to do:

signboard font with the following options activated by clicking "Layer" on the top bar and then "Layer Style".. drop shadow
inner shadow
outer glow
bevel and emboss
color overlay
gradient overlay

I don’t know where I go from there. I’ve tried File > New, then when the box comes up to type the text into (the proper font is chosen) I click Layer, but Layer Style is grayed out so I can’t chose the drop shadow, inner shadow, etc. What could my problem be? Thanks again.

Type should always come up in it’s own layer, click the layer to "set" it. It should display the test you typed as the layer name.
make sure it is not a LOCKED or background layer (to get rid of background layer double click it, it auto renames or you can type a name)
