The commonmost problem I face whenever I buy new designs is that sometimes I need to know all the fonts that were used to make the PSD file. Sometimes Photoshop popups a ugly message saying some fonts are missing and it has no inbuilt method to tell you which font was used. So how to tell which fonts are needed?
There is a crude method to put type tool to every text in the PSD and check on which text it says missing font. That is a bit unprofessional method and does not work if you have large amount of text in design.
Second method is to use a Javascript. Oh No, don’t panic, this is not complex and you don’t even need to know Javascript because its a readymade script available.
Download Script (Size: 4.57 KB)
Now in photoshop, go to File>>Scripts>>Browse and now locate the folder which contains the font.jsx file. And after selecting the script file, click Load.
Now it will ask for location of the folder which contains the PSD for which you want to know the fonts of. After then click Ok and then wait for some time. Don’t click anywhere in PS for the time being. After sometime, you will notice a file named fonts.txt in the same folder which contained the PSD file. The text file will contain the list of all fonts used in the PSD file.
Cool Na?

Thanks for the trick but i would like to know if there is any option in photoshop where you can save a PSD file and it automatically saves the fonts used in that PSD. I’ve seen such an option in Corel Draw where you prepare a document for print and it includes all the fonts with that document.

I don’t think there is such a option in PS. I wish Photoshop give more importance to PSD fonts and introduce more features related to it.
