are you using a mac? If yes, here's what I do. I save the font to the desk top and then I open a finder window and go to myuser/library/Fonts folder and then I drag the font file into that folder. When I restart photoshop the font is there. Just don't make the same mistake I did and that is drag a whole load of free font's in because it can really slow stuff down.

Open your zip and the window should have "Install Font" at the bottom of the window. That is if your using a Mac.
