Fonts for Photoshop

XabbaRus · 12-28-07, 08:47 AM

where to get good free fonts for Photoshop CS version 8?

Failing that I am thinking of trying Gimp. Is it any good. Photoshop is good for doing skins but if I want to draw a marking the tools are useless.

Photoshop uses the Windows Sytem Fonts. So add as many as you like to Windows and PS will use them.

When you say 'draw a marking', do you mean a Roundel?

As this a flightsim board, I take by fonts, you mean the fonts used on A/C markings?

Here's few (you might need to register to download more than 2-3):

Yep roundels and the like. PS circle tool is rubbish.

Also I want to be able to create stylized arrows etc for Russian planes.

Tons of roundels in photoshop format if you have it:

I've seen them too. I want a font that replicates hand written letters rather than printing.

Gimp I think can handle PSD files.
