I searched font-related threads you made in the past and found this. 384 fonts in one package. The downside is you have got to fork out cash for it. :-\
Yeah. Xander has been searching for font packs for three years, sad isn't it XD Thanks, I guess the linux page ones work on Windows too. If so they should be good :) And thanks meatpuppet, but yeah seem a bit expensive for only 300...
Lynxie has something he should set you up with. I think it's roughly 100mb worth of fonts. Something along the lines of 3-5000 of them?
They're all ttfs so you'll be able to just drop them into your fonts directory and be done :)Quote:

This isn't the site I used, but it's got lots of fonts
I think doing that will do terrible things to Windows. There seems to be an upper limit on the number of fonts Windows can safely digest.Quote:

Thank you everyone! Think I should have enough now, perhaps I'll install a few at a time and see how it goes...:)
I personally would be more interested in getting hold of unicode/kanji capable fonts, but they're harder to find and weigh in at several MB each normally :p

He wants different fonts, so I'm sure he already has the ability to display them xD
I installed one of the packs but only up to D is showing up in photoshop. ARGGH. Am I gonna have to go deleting them? >__<
The question is: are the fonts not showing up in PS showing up elsewhere, like in MS Word, Paint, and other applications which can utilize various font types?
If it's a truetype font, it can be used in both Linux and Windows, I believe :pQuote:

It's just that on some of the computers in my school, you can type in Japanese but I think its a windows pack. It does both kana scripts and kanji.Quote:

1) You need an IME installed to type in asian characters and general non-western characters.
2) That being said, you can have different fonts to type in. Japanese advertisements don't look the same as formal writings and those don't look the same as the characters penned by young school children.
Photoshop was onyl showing up to D in the fonts so I'm guessing it was a memory issue. I deleted some and it seems to be ok now :)
