kirby145 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I am running paint.NET on Windows Xp. Whenever I extract a font into my fonts folder, then go to paint.NET it is not there. However, when i go to Microsoft Word it is there, and then it appears on Paint.NET after doing so. Is there any way to make the fonts work automatically?? I searched the forum and it looked like 1 person may have had a similar problem but it was not answered. Anyone know why this is doing this?

Bob Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Just remember, as Rick stated in another post, Paint.NET supports TrueType fonts, not OpenFont fonts. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

HITMAN-X- Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Did you read the tutorial on how to install fonts and what type of fonts work for Paint.NET ? Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirby145 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 I only install truetype fonts. See, what happens is i don't think it detects them or something. When i open ms word it detects them, and then when i open paint.net again it detects them. It is not a format problem, rather a detection problem.

Rick Brewster Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 If you install a font while Paint.NET is still open, then you must restart it in order for it to 'detect' your new fonts.

HITMAN-X- Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 one of the reasons I made the font tutorial showing how to install fonts by the font wizzard was because dragging fonts into the font folder does not always work.
