Creative people are inclined to search for new ideas, their implementation and will do everything to expand the possibilities of their work. Many users of graphic and text editors are aware that not every idea can be formed in a short period of time. Most of the services where they work are criticized because they do not have enough functions and elements for comfortable work. Fortunately, now these services allow you to add new elements to work with objects, increasing the set of fonts, texts, textures and more.
Old Russian font
In the article we will give examples based on this font, for clarity. The fact is that today it is one of the most used (among downloaded) fonts in the Russian-speaking community. Advertisers and designers often use the old Russian font for their projects. In general, such a font attracts the eye with its originality and connection with Russian history. The Old Russian text is most common among projects related to applied arts.
It is worth considering that not all editors support it, so from the many stylizations of this font, you need to look for those that will work adequately in the desired program. We can make an assumption that the alphabet should not be visually loaded in the old Russian font, so the search for a simplified version of the font will be the best option. Also, the user must keep in mind that the downloaded layout will be tied to the Russian alphabet.
Add font
There are a huge number of different libraries on the Web where downloadable items are stored. Finding the right library is not easy, but some sites offer convenient navigation and advanced search, which greatly simplifies the work. The font can be downloaded in .ttf format, as well as in the archive. You can unpack it using any archiver.
There are several ways to install fonts, each of which has its own consequences, so the choice lies with the users themselves:
- Setting the font using the context menu. The fastest and easiest way to install. In the file of the downloaded font, you need to call up a dialog box in which you should select "Install Font". After that, it falls into the general font registry and becomes available for all applications that are able to correctly support it. But here there are some nuances - excessive loading of fonts into the general set will slow down the performance of the computer.
- Installation in the root folder of Fonts. The downloaded file must be transferred to the root folder of the system. The folder is located on the system drive (C: \ Windows \ Fonts). This method differs only in the installation method, and the technical part is no different from the previous one.
- Installation in the program directory. Old Russian font in Word or another program can be directly installed in the application. To do this, find the root folder with the application on the system drive and add the font to the built-in folder with fonts. If there is no such folder here, then create it, copy the font and connect the folder in the program. The method is good in that the font will not directly affect the performance of the system, but, in turn, the application will have lower performance than when the fonts were not connected to the program. Accordingly, the font will be used only by the program where it was installed.
Text in Word
The main text editor is equally convenient for all users. Almost all work with texts is done here, and largely thanks to a clear interface. In addition, the program supports all kinds of operations with text, including added fonts.
The installed font should be displayed in the list of all fonts on the main tab of the program. It can be edited and formatted in exactly the same way as any other standard font.
Text in Adobe Photoshop
The image editor also has a built-in advanced feature for creating and formatting text. The Text tool is located on the main quick access toolbar.
To place the old Russian font in Photoshop, you need to mark the approximate area within which the text will be used with the cursor. The parameters of the latter are in the header of the program. To find a new font, you need to open the list and scroll through it to the end - usually the loaded elements are located there.
