Kaiser Yoshi Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 ... the hard way. Okay, so I just installed a font. There are four new files in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts: So now I open Paint.NET to use the fonts. They should be right between Times New Roman and Traditional Arabic... but: They don't show up in the list. A bug? I think this is why everybody is asking questions despite the large number of previous font issue threads. The four font files are OpenType fonts, if it makes a difference.

Bob Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 If you open the fonts, what happen? Where did they come from? No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 The GDI+ text system, which is what Paint.NET uses, doesn't support OpenFont, only TrueType. This is nothing new or surprising.

Silentman Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have downloaded a .ttf font which is TrueType right? But I still can't access it even through the tutorials for installing sigs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 :?: Installing... Sigs? I'm missing something here... To install a font, drag-'n-drop the .ttf into the C:\ WINDOWS\ Fonts folder (for some reason or another, the backslashes aren't showing up between the folder names after submitting, but they're supposed to be there). If PDN is open at the time, you'll have to restart it before the new font can be used. I am not a mechanism, I am part of the resistance; I am an organism, an animal, a creature, I am a beast. ~ Becoming the Archetype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiannax Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 well i downloaded fonts that are True Type and for some reason they will only show up in Microsoft Word and other places where you can type (such as paint. NOT paint.net). They work propely. But when I look for them in paint.net they arent there. can someone please help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
