    Is this the one you are looking for?

    @kaizersoze thanks for that, the Biblos is spot on.

    @Ruu thanks, I put the files in my font folder but looking at it in PhotoShop it just looks like standard text :(...

    Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated :)

    Did you just copy them there or did you actually install the font?

    Well I moved the files to the fonts folder and then tried to double click on them as I taught I had to install the file, but it just opens a window and displays the font letters.

    I think you are meant to open the Fonts folder in Control Panel, then go File->Install New Fonts and then select the location of the font.

    Thanks Ruu, just done that and they did in install, but when I seen the install window pop up I remembered I did install them :o. (must of done it some other way)

    Anyway I reopened Photoshop after installing them again and still - the Biblos is spot on but looking at the GFS_DIDOT font it just looks like standard text, ie not Greek looking.
