Tech help?
So, I made Defy's sig then found this.

Halo 3 v3.0 Font @ 1001Fonts.com

How do I get the file into Photoshop CS3?(there's a link to download)

Download the file.
go to your start button. Run
type in C:\Windows\Font
Drag the font file into the folder brought up

Then it'll be installed.

A faster way is to just double click the file after you extract it from the archive and it will automatically install it. If you don't see it in the font selection menu in Photoshop try restarting Photoshop and it should appear after that.

Do what he says, But you can press F5 Instead of reloading Photoshop

I suggest doing what Defy said, then it installs to all files, you can then use it in MS Word, while programming, Gfx editing, ect.

Simply moving it to the fonts folder isn't always effective. The way I install fonts is to extract the font files to someplace, then go to the fonts place, and then look for the install new font under one of the toolbar things.

Oh. Sorry for not posting again... Defy's method worked, common sense that I couldn't figure out. Still thanks :P.

How can I EASIEST!!!!! way to change the color of the text to the same as Halo's? :| It's a bitch to color...

If you mean getting the exact color?
The only way I can think of is using the eye dropper on a piece of artwork from halo and taking that color from there and placing it into the text.

That's what I'd do... It's a bitch to do... I like shortcuts. :|

Let's see... 26 letters + 10 numbers = 36... I'll give someone 360k Gaya for all of the colors right and shit... Like, I can copy and paste the image of the letter right in. If it looks like shit... you don't get paid, naturally...

trying to color the text? That's easy...

hmm.... perhaps a custom imported metal patter would work better... also needs outline but both of those things would take alot more time

No offense, found an easier way a long time ago. Thanks anyways...
