Full Version: Condensed Fonts
Can anyone recommend some good condensed fonts to use on Photoshop? I typically use Impact, but I need something that will have the letters practically touching each other, or pretty close to that.

If you are otherwise happy with Impact, you could kern the letters closer in Photoshop. OTOH, if you want a whole new font, I'd recommend looking on http://www.dafont.com or http://www.1001fonts.com.

I still use 6.0, I'm not sure how you make the letters closer together, to "kern" them.

This is how I do it in Photoshop 7, but I have no idea if that was possible in 6 or not.
It's indeed possible; the character palette offers that in all versions of Photoshop I've used (6, 7, CS2).
Ha! I've used v3 - v7. 
...and yes, it's offered. Version 6's GUI was upgraded since v5 which is what I currently use on this machine, so I can't take a snapshot. It'll be closest to what kewlceo took a snapshot of.
