How do I access the font path in order to have access to a larger library of fonts in Adobe Photoshop?

I’m not following your question. You can use whatever fonts are on your machine (licensing issues aside). Adobe finds it’s font’s at startup, IIRC, you shouldn’t have to ‘point’ it to fonts.

Have you installed new fonts on your machine but can’t find them when changing fonts in Photoshop? If so, I’d WAG you’ve instaled the fonts in the wrong place or installed incompatable fonts (ie: Mac fonts on a Windows machine).

Thanks for your reply. I did end up being able to locate them by moving them to a different place.
