Chinese fonts not showing in Photoshop

chaco

I downloaded some fonts from this website and installed the fonts. However, Photoshop doesn't have those fonts in the font list even when other programs like MSWord does. Other recently installed Chinese fonts do work like ones from here. Is there a way to fix this? :\

I have Windows XP with Window's own language input thing and PS6.

I examined a couple of fonts from the first link and they all had the same name — "By JOSSQ-DMF in BeiJing" —, which was displayed in Photoshop CS's font list. I'd say the fonts in the second link are of better technical quality.

You could try to "fix" the fonts by starting to change their names with a font editor, like FontLab, for example. However, there might be additional problems with these fonts, as the Unicode values and glyph names seemed to be all over the place.

(Disclamer: I know nothing about Chinese fonts)
