Alpha2beta Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Im trying to add a more "youtube" thumbnail type font to paint.net. Is that even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hello @Alpha2beta Welcome to the Forum. To Quote @Djisves; You do not add fonts to PDN. Just add the font you need to Windows like you do with any font. You'll be able to use it within PDN. Hope this helps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That made me think, it would be quite useful if PDN did have that facility for fonts. I'm thinking along the lines of a favourite fonts list. I have probably over 500 fonts due to the the ones I've added to Windows font store over the years, usually for one off purposes and often involving PDN. A smaller favourite fonts list also allowing you to save the same font with different size/type settings might be helpful for specific projects too.

Djisves Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thanks for the reference @AndrewDavid but you did not have to. When I wrote that, I was just repeating what others, more experienced and knowledgeable users wrote before me. @IHaveNoName, I read in the forum recently (I looked but I can't find it now), a discussion about making the drop-down fonts list in PDN behave like the one in MS Word - i.e. list the most recently used fonts at the top, sort of like favourites.

Then when you are in PDN it will use whatever you have in that Font folder.

Pottery Girl Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 A font that I downloaded from DAfont has disappeared from PDN. I see the name in the list with no preview. And when I try to type, nothing shows up. I am able to type it in a Word document and print it, so I know it's downloaded.

(Using a laptop) Sometimes there's a bug in Windows where you have to restart the app, or the system, and then it works. I haven't heard of this happening in awhile so maybe it was fixed, or maybe it wasn't, but it's worth a shot as a general troubleshooting idea. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me have the Dafont font name, so that I can download it and test it.

Pixey Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Yup, it's working fine for me too: All I can suggest is: Go to My Computer > Fonts > remove the copy you have in there > add it again and restart PDN Does it look like this in your Windows Font folder? It's not grayed-out or anything?
