F8 closes and reopens the window.
Ctrl+Shift+F8 will RESET the window to default size and location.

Is the bevel plugin having problems? I'm not seeing it in the folder, or in Paint.net, and I really need it for a project.
You need to refresh your plug-ins. Go download this from my latest plug-in pack: -
You are really lost.
This message board is about the MS Windows painting program called Paint.NET.
We don't know anything about real world paint.
Sorry.

There are several plugins to manipulate text but I haven't seen one capable of changing the spacing in a way that the letters overlap.
I have PM'd you a preliminary build of a plugin that does this very thing. Let me know your feedback and I'll finish up the plugin and publish it.

Paint.NET does not install any fonts.
This is correct. Paint.NET does not come with any fonts. It simply uses the fonts you already have installed on your system.
If you need some more fonts, try dafonts.com
-
Make sure the fonts are installed properly for all users:
If you've tried that and are still having problems, tell us one of the missing font names and where to download it.
-
Do other applications (Word, etc.) show the font that is missing from Paint.NET?
-
Is it possible you used a different machine to do the edits?
-
It would take a lot of work, but it MIGHT be doable.
-
Put each letter on it's own layer (H on top and O on the bottom). Add outline to one layer and press Ctrl+F on each other layer. Then do the same for shading and drop-shadows.

@BoltBait and your unfinished ones.
Well, I'm constantly revising them. You may want to go back and review all of them.

@ReMake I plan on following you as much as I can understanding the new GPU benefits. When I paste your code into my Codelab - I receive this error
What am I not doing?
@ReMake created a new GPU Drawing effect. You're trying to put that code into a new GPU Image effect.
Had you saved that code into a .cs file and did a File > Open in CodeLab, it would have know the type and loaded it into the proper window type for you.
Or, had you done a File > New > GPU Drawing Effect before pasting in your code, it would have worked properly.

before starting I have to click to select each file, and another click to select the transparent layer. In total, 12 mouse clicks. Additionally, I must take the file from size 35% to 100%, with the keyboard combination Ctrl +, pressing 3 times. A total of 36 actions to get everything ready.
This is the sort of thing that can be automated using https://www.autohotkey.com/User @Tactilis could probably help you with a script once you get AHK loaded.

is there cache for the data that can be cleared and auto rebuilt
Sorry, but that is gibberish.
Paint.NET is working correctly. So, there must be something else getting in the way--either some keyboard manager is redefining Ctrl+R or there is a problem with Windows or your keyboard is failing.
1. If your keyboard is wireless, check the battery.
2. Try https://keyboardchecker.com/ to see if your keys are working
3. Apply any pending Windows Updates
4. Reboot

You have the background layer selected, that's where your pasted graphic is going. You can't see it because it is being covered by an image above it in the layers list.

I can't read those error messages. Please try again.
-
Change the opacity of the top layer to 50%, do your alignment, then change it back to 100%?
Colors window is suddenly massive
