Blooper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ah well, it's all in the title really. I'd like to see the text tool be given the ability to pull letters tighter together, or push them further away, as well as the ability to pull lines of text closer to each other. I do this by hand when I need to (and I do, considering that's the theme I chose for the web pages I'm designing at the moment...) by selecting each letter and pasting it on a new layer, then working with that, but it takes a lot of and it's very imprecise. As you can see, it yields interesting results. So, is there a possibility to see this come our way in the future? Thanks.

Sozo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Seconded, there have been many occasions where I could have used a feature like this. Seems like a 4.0 feature to me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becauseilearn Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I don't know if there are many programs out that actually allow you to change the kerning value outside of DTP, and PDN doesn't have its own internal font with which to do that. I don't think this could easily be supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I like this idea, too. Quote  The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Simon Brown Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 PDN doesn't have its own internal font with which to do that. I don't think this could easily be supported. My personal solution would be to draw each letter individually, but that may require big changes in structure to PDN. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroTechniques Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I would love to see an effect like this. I think (and many appear to agree with me) that PDN's weakest aspect is its text effects. Not to knock it or anything, but I sometimes end up using different programs for the text.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 .... I do this by hand when I need to (and I do, considering that's the theme I chose for the web pages I'm designing at the moment...) You are familiar with the CSS elements line-height and letter-spacing aren't you? p { line-height: 140%; letter-spacing: -3px; } Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooper Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 I only just noticed the +print screen part. That fixes the problem, but it'd still be much more practical if it was implemented into the software. Thanks Zagna and EEE.
