HITMAN-X- Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I keep seeing people asking how they get new fonts and how they would use them in Paint.NET. So I made this tutorial to help them people out.

BoltBait Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Nice tutorial. Just remember, as Rick stated in another post, Paint.NET supports TrueType fonts, not OpenFont fonts. So, if you know of a good source of FREE True Type fonts, post links here...

Anyway when you download your fonts they should be .ttf files. I belive .ttf fonts are True Type. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Yoshi Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Aaaaaand, after a very thorough search, there are - count them - ZERO non-trial programs that can convert OpenType to TrueType. -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaker Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks for the tutorial, How do you know if the font your trying to install is the type that works with PDN? is there an extension to look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITMAN-X- Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks for the tutorial,How do you know if the font your trying to install is the type that works with PDN? is there an extension to look for? As the tutorial siads in the description "TrueType fonts are .ttf font files". Also when your adding fonts to the Add Fonts window it tells you if they are TrueType or not. Look at Step 3, the 3rd image. I happy this tutorial has been a help to you :wink:. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask .

usedHONDA Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 http://www.creamundo.com/index.php?lang=enThanks! I got 3 of my fonts there, but I forgot the name of it.@Sezynena170: You can also drag and drop a font into the fonts folder (if it isn't in a compressed folder).

TOML Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 anouther font site is dafont.com and i dont know if this works for anyone else but for simplicity since when i get fonts i get a lot i save it to desktop, where i have a copy of my fonts folder, and just drag and drop after i have unzipped the font file. it installs like that, not much simplier but for those who didnt understand the first way, or use massive amounts of fonts that might be a bit easier.

ripps818 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm using a truetype font called LetteroMatic that refuses to work for Paint.net. I've followed the tutorial. I'm using the latest version of Paint.Net. I'm tired of having to switch to gimp to finish my comic. Quote Feel free to heckle me at my LiveJournal.

Crazy Man Dan Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I downloaded it to give it a try. The preview doesn't work, but the font works fine. Just click on the blank space where Letter O Matic should be.

Sturmrabe Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Per my other thread about a similar subject that was locked: I was not seeing some of the fonts I had installed, even though I could see them in Word... I restarted the app (paint.net) and still couldn't see them... though I am now seeing them, I think this was after a restart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HITMAN-X- Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Sturmrabe the tutorial tells you the type of fonts to use for Paint.NET and that you need to close out all programs that use fonts so that the new font can be seen.

MajorWhisky-w Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 may you find hier MGS or a similar one: http://betterfonts.com/ or by dafont.com or, you open a browser, type metal gear solid fonts in the textbox and click to the first link?
