What is the Fonts.com Web Fonts Extension for Adobe Photoshop?

The fonts.com Web fonts extension for Adobe Photoshop enables users to easily design and preview their creative prototypes and proofs using the best selection of Web fonts.

What’s the difference between FontGazer and the Fonts.com Web fonts extension for Photoshop?

FontGazer is a plug-in for Adobe InDesign that enables you to try out new desktop fonts while designing. You can also purchase and install your fonts without ever leaving InDesign, allowing you to get back to designing. Fonts purchased using the FontGazer plug-in may be used for print media and desktop applications. They are NOT Web fonts. The Fonts.com Web fonts extension for Photoshop enables you to design and preview your creative prototypes and proofs using Web fonts. Fonts are NOT available for purchase within this extension nor can they be used for print mediums or desktop applications. To license the Web fonts used in the creative prototypes and proofs, you must select and publish the Web font from your Fonts.com account online. Return to top
