VincentVanGogh Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The way Paint.Net 3.5 handles fonts, turns out to be a real disaster - because fonts that are a subset of a given font family are just not seen, not listed, and thus cannot be used. For example: om my Win7 system the Arial font family contains 10 installed fonts in three subsets: (1, main subset) Regular, Bold, Italic, Italic Bold; (2, narrow subset) Narrow, Narrow Bold, Narrow Italic, Narrow Italic Bold; (3, extrabold subset) Black, Black Oblique. In this example, Paint.Net will see and list only the four fonts in 1, the main set. The six alternative Arial varieties in subsets 2 and 3 will not be seen or listed, and therefore those six Arial fonts cannot be used in image editing. In my opinion this is a major bug, a real show-stopper, and I must say that I would expect something like this in a beta version, but I'm really surprised this was not corrected for the final 3.5 versions! I can only hope this will be corrected soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Cool your jets. Posting a thread with that sort of title and vitriol like that is not the way to get help on this forum.
