Typefaces/Fonts

I'm looking for a very specific font, something with big fat rounded letters that almost overlap each other, imagine the letters have been formed like balloon animals!

Furthermore I have to then install this font into either Microsoft Word or Photoshop CS6, I run a Mac with OS X Yosemite.

Any advice?

You have 300+ with Yosemite and there are 1000s on line - just google "fonts"
What about http://www.1001fonts.com/chocolate-bar-demo-font.html ?

or these.

If you need a hand installing the fonts let me know.

All sorted, thanks. It was actually very simple, much easier than I remember.

Seems like fonts automatically load into Word, but you then don't have quite the kerning and line spacing flexibility that you get with CS6.

I'm not a Mac user (too pricy for me) but even on Linux fonts load into the OS, so
that once loaded all your applications have access to the same fonts.

So the font should (AFAIK) be available to both Word and and CS6 - or neither.

Unless Mac's are weird. :wink:

Are you looking in the right place? Type some text, select it, then go to Format>Font and look on the Character Spacing tab. You can expand or contract by a proportion or fixed amount. (You could apply this adjustment to all of your text, or to parts of it.) Kerning is on by default for larger sizes only, but you can over-ride that and have kerning on at any size.

Line spacing can be adjusted too - for a whole paragraph block, or line by line if you want.

[I was using Word 2003 but afaik earlier and later versions have the same options.]

Yes, just use http://www.1001fonts.com - you'll find something there and you can see directly how the fonts look like. They are quite easy to download and install (on Windows anyway).
