I need to make light edits on my Linux box to Photoshop (.psd) files; a couple of text layers.
Both GIMP and Krita rasterize the layers, and photopea.com doesn’t appear to handle custom fonts.
Will zap generously for a working solution. 🙏🏻

For all other fonts, Photopea allows you to open them (TTF or OTF files) the same way you open any other file (File - Open, or drag-and-drop). They will be added to the end of the font list and used, when some type layer needs them.
From the documentation. Doesn't work?
It should be the missing font. Let's see if AI can help you.😉
1. Use Photopea and Manually Install Custom Fonts
- **Reason**: Photopea is a free, browser-based tool that supports .psd files and text layer editing, closely resembling Photoshop’s experience. Your issue is that custom fonts are not loading, likely because they are not properly installed in the system.
- **Steps**:
1. Ensure your custom font files (.ttf or .otf) are downloaded.
2. Install fonts on Linux:
- **Ubuntu/Debian**:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/custom
sudo cp /path/to/your/font.ttf /usr/share/fonts/custom/
sudo fc-cache -fv
```
- **Fedora**:
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/fonts
sudo cp /path/to/your/font.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/
sudo fc-cache -fv
```
- Alternatively, manually copy the font files to `~/.fonts/` or `~/.local/share/fonts/`, then run `fc-cache -fv`.
3. Open Photopea (photopea.com) and load the .psd file.
4. Check if the font appears in Photopea’s font list. If not, try restarting the browser or clearing the cache.
5. If the font still doesn’t load, verify that the font file name exactly matches the font name specified in the .psd file (Photopea is case-sensitive to font names).
Try using something vector-based like Inkscape.
