After reading this I am very discouraged! Have been using Paint.net for quite a while and it was great until just recently. I have been doing graphic designs for T-shirts, mugs etc and this tool has been great but since so many of my designs have text seems that I will have to go to another program or upgrade to Windows7 but being retired that would be a strain on my budget and this above work around seems complicated and very time consuming. It seems that the font thing has only been a problem for me since the last update? Actually now I wish I had the old version back. Otherwise everthing else has been great. Can see my work at zazzle.com/davzke
