I have downloaded some fonts off dafont.com

I have unzipped them into a folder. but I cannot open them in my PS CS5

I just started GFX, needing a lot of help.

i think you have to go:

windows->fonts then drag the font into there.

1. Select the font files (they should be truetypefont,openfont, a file like that)
2. hit "edit" "copy"
3. Open control panel
4. Open "fonts" folder
5. Paste Font files into font folder ( a little bar should show up saying loading "insert font name here" font )

Tada! done. Note that most programs need to be reopened for the new fonts to appear in the font menu.
Dafont is a great resource.
