I'm not sure but i Think it is enough to drag the fonts into windows/fonts folder , for this You Should Go to Control Panel and then in the "fonts" option and click "add new font" , There's nothing to do at photoshop, it will automatically retrieves the installed fonts

Here is the directory where you should copy the files of your fonts or font as you say: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\PDFL\7.0\Fonts , and restart photoshop

Fonts must be installed in the operating system. The list will automatically update in the Adobe software.

So you just download a new font and you want it to be taken into account by Windows and its applications.

To do this, open the Control Panel by clicking the Start button and then click Control Panel.

1. Double click on the Fonts icon.
   
2. A browser window opens to the folder where are stored all the fonts on your computer.
   
3. You have two methods to install your fonts. The first simply is to copy your font directly in this folder. If your policy is for example on the desktop, drag and drop it into the Fonts window.
   
4. The other way is to click on the File menu of the Fonts window and select the Install New Font.
   
5. Select the folder containing the font to install it, select it in the Font List, then click the OK button.
   
6. Your fonts is automatically copied to the fonts folder. It is accessible from any program.

For example, in Word, pull down the list of fonts, you find that you just added are present.
