How do I import and use a true type font?

I read that there was a FAQ on this some where but I couldn't find it.

I have Photoshop 7.0 and Illustrator 10 on a Windows NT Workstation, and I want to use the Eraser Dust font I found here: < http://www.masterstech-home.com/The_Library/Font_Samples/Fon t_Indices/Image_Pages/E/EraserDust.html>

I have down loaded, unziped and put it in the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts/. It is the only Truetype Font there and I can't figure out how to access it. Any help would me appreciated.

I have the manual so if the procedure is in it I would love to have the page#. Thanks,
Ross

I would assume that it has to be installed for Windows and your applications to access it. I use a program called Printers Apprentice as a font viewing and installation program, but there are less expensive (maybe free) programs.

You can download the trial version and install the font you need.

by the way, all the font should be in
c:\windows\fonts dir
or open fonts from run (run - fonts)
on the bar, click file, install new font

thanks LARRYBERNMAN for the soft info. really needed that!
