1. Re: Can we rename fonts in Photoshop? Or even Windows?
station_two Aug 21, 2013 5:59 PM (in response to jyeager11)Sure, if you open each font and re-save it with a different name in a font creation software like FontLab, Fontographer, etc.—and if the license allows you to do so, which is by no means a given.

jyeager11 Aug 21, 2013 7:42 PM (in response to station_two)Thank you. So 3rd party software is the only way to rename (and therefore, re-order) those fonts in Photoshop, then? At least it only requires me to use it once, which is better than using briefcase plugins ad infinitum.

station_two Aug 21, 2013 7:56 PM (in response to jyeager11)Have you ever used font creation software?
It's not that easy, and the programs are not cheap.

jyeager11 Aug 21, 2013 7:59 PM (in response to station_two)No, I've never used font creation software before. I just assumed it was a viable solution because, well, you suggested it as one.
Guess I'll just give up on the idea.

station_two Aug 21, 2013 8:03 PM (in response to jyeager11)Excuse me, but I didn't "suggest" anything. I merely answered your question straightforwardly.
Perhaps I should have used some kind of smiley to indicate sarcasm.

station_two Aug 21, 2013 8:05 PM (in response to jyeager11)BTW, it was obvious to me that you were in unfamiliar territory when you needed to ask the question in the first place.

jyeager11 Aug 22, 2013 2:55 PM (in response to station_two)Well, I'm glad I was here to entertain you. Remind me never to ask a question in your presence again, lest I open the door to being "had" by another one of your sarcastic responses.
Do you also sarcastically offer sick children life insurance policies? I bet that must be a hoot too.

station_two Aug 22, 2013 11:04 PM (in response to jyeager11)Nice.
I don't sell insurance of any kind. I've never been a salesman of anything, don't even have a friend or acquaintance in that field.
I was not "entertained". I was only trying to make you aware of the obstacles you would face if you went ahead and spent a chunk of money on something like FontLab.

How would I know we are "in each other's presence" in an open forum?
