DimensionPizza Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Can't post a screenshot unfortunately, as Ctrl+PrtSc is insufficient for accurately capturing my issue since Ctrl hides the text cursor. Whenever I use the text tool, sometimes the text is too small. For example, when trying to use 12pt Helvetica, it pops up about 2pt, or at least it's 2 pixels tall. Text works fine most of the time, but about 10% of the time it has this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 You can also adjust the dpi (aka resolution) from Image -> Resize. A higher value will result in larger text (in terms of pixels).

DimensionPizza Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I've found that sometimes on Paint.NET, the text tool will glitch out and make my text far smaller than it needs to be. For example, in order to get the equivalent of 12pt text, I have to set the text size at 84pt in order to get the font size that I need. This happens on all image types, though I've found it particularly common on .pdn formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 You can change the Font Metric to Fixed, so that it's not influenced by your image's DPI.
