It will save them, extract them from the folder, now, (im asuming you have XP) go into control pannel, switch to classic view, and find the fonts folder (very easy to spot) drag the extracted document into that, and then you must find the folder for fonts in your image program, i have GIMP, so i cant tell you were that is, but its probably in a libwmf folder

Actually, download something like this and extract anywhere then drag the files in to Control Panel/Fonts then go in to PS/GIMP and choose the text tool.

Restart PS if its already open. It only sees the fonts when it starts up.
