Font Picker

[MissouriStar]

I'm trying to do the Tip of the Week for the word filled background paper. The instructions for Photoshop: To see what your word looks like with the different fonts, click twice on the drop down menu button of the font picker. Then use your keyboard arrow keys to scroll up and down the list of fonts. I can't get this to work. Should I be on the Move tool or the Type tool, should I have my text highlighted? Nothing I do seems to work. I am using Photoshop CS5, Mac OS 10.6.8. Any suggestions?

Well, as so often happens, minutes after I posted my question I discovered what I was doing wrong. I was double clicking on the down arrow instead of the font box. Once I double clicked on the font box itself, it worked like a charm!

Yay!! Glad you got that solved. It is my absolute favorite way to pick a font.

Trying to find all the fonts that you used. Cannot find anything named "The Good Friend", "Friend", "Good Friend." Just checking to make sure that that is the right name. You used it for "smile."

Hi Sue. The Good Friend font that I have came in a purchased kit called "A Little Help From My Friends". I will post the link because it was a fundraiser event for Lauren Grier - one of our guest kit designers.
you can find it [here]
thanks! xoxo, Jen

Beautiful kit...no wonder I couldn't google it )
Thanks for the link.

The kit isn't available any longer. (
Can you compare that font to another that's close?

I just took a look and it seems to still be available ...

... although I can't access anything properly at their site as it says my cookies are not enabled. Which of course they are !!

Wendy, did you see this note: This special edition kit will only be available through the end of April, so don't miss your chance to get your hands on it, and to make a difference in the lives of this beautiful woman and her son.
I didn't sign in, so I have no idea if for some reason you can still get it.
But I figured that if I could get a similar font, I wouldn't waste my energy to sign up and figure out another system.
