Zacariem Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi all! I've just been using Paint.NET to design my new website and I needed some new fonts. I went to Dafonts.com and downloaded what I needed. I then put the file in C:\Windows...etc... But then I rememberd that you have to restart Paint.NET for the fonts to be accesable. I had to save my file, close Paint.NET and open it agin. Wouldn't it be easyer to have a refresh tool that installs the new fonts/pluggins without clearing your work? It's just a small change but I think it would make a big difference... Thanks for listning Zacariem Quote They said we couldn't fly. We did. Anythings possible!

trickman Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Probably that isn't possible. Because if it was, Why do we need to restart firefox when we install new extensions? Why do we need to restart word when we install new fonts? Why do we need to reboot our computer when we install a program which messes with the registry?

Born2killx Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Actually, I remember when I install a new font, it comes up on Word instantly without restarting... Quote I built my first computer at age 11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacariem Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 yea I know what you mean but couldn't Paint.NET temporelaly save itself, restart, load the save file and delete it all in one click, or is that to complicated (I'm not the pest programer lol! ) Zacariem Quote They said we couldn't fly.

Illnab1024 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 What would be nice is not having to wait for ages for all the fonts to load in. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Urm..... I Have a TON of fonts....and It doesnt taking long for them to load... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 What would be nice is not having to wait for ages for all the fonts to load in. For 3.0 I'm planning to load that list in a background thread once Paint.NET is finished starting up. So it won't kill the startup perf like it was in v1.0, but if you don't reach for the dropdown list immediately then it will come up perceptively much faster.

It will be of a lower priority, I presume, so it doesn't kill rendering performance, either? Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaveN Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well.....Either way, back on subject, the fonts do load kind of faster for me, I would suggest if you Are really into using different fonts, get an external hard drive, loaded JUST with fonts...Learned that from my art teacher = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You likely have a faster system than mine (or maybe the fact that my Boot Drive has 800 megs free). Put up a benchmark over in the plugins sticky. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well on my Major system I am running a 3.7 Ghz processor with a gig of ram..and im getting a new video card soon... This system im on now is horrible. 1.4 Ghz and 512 mb ram. I dont like this one. It does take time for my renders to complete in paint.net though.
