  1. Quit Photoshop if it’s already running.

  2. Double click on the file Fontself_Maker_Photoshop.dmg to extract the installer archive from the installation folder Fontself_Maker_Photoshop/macOS/

  3. Double click on the icon Install Fontself Maker for Photoshop.pkg and proceed with the installation instructions to setup Fontself.

  4. Start Photoshop & launch Fontself Maker by going to Window > Extensions > Fontself Maker

  5. Launch the Photoshop version in which you want to install the Fontself extension.

On a PC (Windows)

  1. Quit Photoshop if it’s already running.

  2. Double click on the file Install Fontself Maker for Photoshop.exe and proceed with the installation instructions to setup Fontself.

  3. Start Photoshop & launch Fontself Maker by going to Window > Extensions > Fontself Maker

  4. If you have multiple versions of Photoshop (like older CS6 ;) launch the Photoshop CC version in which you want to install the Fontself extension.

Potential issues

Common errors

  1. Got an empty extension panel after loading the extension?  => On CC 2015, just click on the top right drawer icon & select “Reset Extension”. If it keeps failing, quit Photoshop & restart the extension (wait a few more seconds when the extension loads again).

  2. Got a spinner that keeps spinning above your extension?  => There might be a bug! Just close the extension and reload it from Window > Extensions > Fontself Maker (you can also click on the top-right menu drawer and press Reload Extension). If you can reproduce this problem again, please let us know when it occurs and send us the logs file that you will find in View Logs / Send Logs).
