Raye Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have an Opentype font that I was able to access in a previous version of Paint but for some reason v3.36 does not recognise the font (I had to reformat my computer and install v3.36). Does v3.36 not support Opentype fonts? Or is there a quick tip I need to know in order to get the font to work. The font I need to access is part of a brand identity so I really need to use it as I'm currently working on a job that needs it. The font is ITC Avant Garde Book. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Paint.NET only supports TrueType fonts, so I guess your best bet is to write your text in Paint and copy it accross (running colour to alpha if you need transparency).

Raye Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks Simon, but I'm only a basic user of Paint and excuse my ignorance but I don't understand what you mean by: "best bet is to write your text in Paint and copy it accross (running colour to alpha if you need transparency)". I'm trying to create text to be used on a website and need it to be in the specific Avant Garde font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 He means to use a different paint program (like Microsoft Paint) to render the text. Then, copy-and-paste that into Paint.NET as a bitmap for further tweeking.

Simon Brown Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm suggesting you type the text into normal Paint and then copying and pasting it into PDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
