The Font Family menu in both the Character panel and the options bar shows a preview of available fonts.
You can choose a font family and style by typing its name in the text box. As you type, the name of the first font or
style beginning with that letter appears. Continue typing until the correct font or style name appears.
2 To choose a font style, do one of the following:
• Choose a font style from the Font Style menu in the Character panel or options bar.
• If the font family you chose does not include a bold or italic style, click the Faux Bold button or the Faux Italic
button in the Character panel to apply a simulated style. Alternatively, choose Faux Bold or Faux Italic from the
Character panel menu.
• Use a dynamic shortcut. Dynamic shortcuts are keyboard shortcuts that are available (in edit mode only) for Faux
Bold, Faux Italic, All Caps, Small Caps, Superscript, Subscript, Underline, and Strikethrough.
Note: You cannot apply Faux Bold formatting to warped type.
Change the font on multiple layers
1 In the Layers panel, select the text layers you want to change.
2 In the Character panel, select type characteristics from the pop-up menus.
About missing fonts and glyph protection
If a document uses fonts not installed on your system, you see an alert message when you open it. Photoshop indicates
which fonts are missing and substitutes missing fonts with available matching fonts. When this happens, you can select
the text and apply any other available font.
Glyph protection protects against incorrect, unreadable characters that appear if you enter non-roman text (for
example, Japanese or Cyrillic) after selecting a roman font. By default, Photoshop provides glyph protection by
automatically selecting an appropriate font. To disable glyph protection, deselect Enable Missing Glyph Protection in
the Type preferences.
