jamfx Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hi everybody, I got a strange Problem. I created an image with a text inside. I used a opentype font called Unibody for it. After a fiew weeks I wanted to do something new with this font, but now I couldn't use it anymore in my Paint.net, but I don't know why? I know that it worked once... Can anybody tell me how to reactivate this fonts in my Paint.net? Just for you I added the font here in a zip-file. It's free font from this website http://www.underware.nl/site2/index.php3?id1=fonts I would love to be able to use it again... Thanks JamFX unibody.zip Quote There are 10 people in the world who can read binary code.

david.atwell Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 You used it in PdN before? 'Cause as I understand it, the .NET framework only allows a TrueType font to be used...

jamfx Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hi, yes! I used it once. And I have the PdN-File still on my PC, but I wanted to make some major changes and therefore I wanted to rewrite some text with this font... Anyone knows something?

jamfx Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi, this means, that NOW I can not use the font in my PdN any more... :-( I can open the .pdn-File but I can use the font. Not even in a new pdn-File... Quote There are 10 people in the world who can read binary code.

HITMAN-X- Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Paint.NET can not support OpenType Fonts but only TrueType Fonts. It something that we all hope will be fixed some day. However your font has a TrueType Font made for MAC. You could try looking for a MAC to PC font converter and see if that will work.

drakaan Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 ...okay, maybe nobody else is curious, but I am. How would he have been able to use an OpenType font before, when he is unable to use the same font now? Regardless of whether Paint.NET/.net 2.0 supports OpenType, how would he have been able to *ever* make use of it? That's the real question underlying his "how can I use this font again" request.

jamfx Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi drakan is absolutely right! *thanks for this! Maybe I used a beta version in the meantime... I updated paint.net recently after it suggested it to me to 3.10... Is there a way to find this out? Can I install some more PdN-Versions simultaneously?

How would he have been able to use an OpenType font before, when he is unable to use the same font now? Funny, when I first read this topic, I thought the same thing. I just figured that they were mistaken and it had never worked with Paint.NET. (Perhaps they used a different font, or they used a different program.)

drakaan Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 well, now I'm more curious. I have a second PC that I can install earlier versions of Paint.NET on. if I have time next week, I'll experiment a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamfx Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thany you for your reply and of course I realized, that he worte PdN. But I do know too what I did! And I do know that I showed you the resource, where I got the font from and so you can now think of your self, if a wonder happened to me than I will start playing the lottery. But as much as I know it's easier to get hit by lightning... Hey, I don't want to bother or worry anybody. I just wanted to ask, what could have happened? As you can see, it worked once. I didn't change anything in the meantime except the PdN-version Thank you once more! Yours JamFX Quote There are 10 people in the world who can read binary code.

usedHONDA Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 This is a very interesting bug. Are you sure you didn't install a font like one of these?

Mr Frojo Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Paint.NET has never worked with openfonts. There wasnt some bug way back that let people use openfonts, and there wasnt some time that pdn supported openfonts, but Rick said, "Bye openfonts. Ill get rid of you just for fun." They have never worked. It must have been a different font that you were using or something. Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamfx Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi, ok, than I realy should start playing the lottery or start my personal lightninghunting... Can anybody think of this possibility in a way that doesn't let me stand like an idiot? I know what I did. I'm not a studpid kid that want's to play... I just want to use PdN as I did before! So please everybody: Start thinking in the direction of what could have happened to me. I just repeat my question (as I did only 2-3 times before) What can I do to use this font (I posted in my topicstart) again with my PdN?! I used EXATLY this font, not anything else! I USED PdN and used some more openfonts with it. So please somebody, think with me... Thank you! JamFX Quote There are 10 people in the world who can read binary code.

Mr Frojo Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Theres nothing you can do to use this font in paint.NET again, unless paint.NET starts supporting openfonts, which I dont see happening anytime soon.

Bob Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I think you copied the Truetype font from some Mac. Can anybody think of this possibility in a way that doesn't let me stand like an idiot? I know what I did. It's like saying you've seen a ghost or something, even if it's true (well, even if you think it's true), nobody will believe you. At least, I don't believe you. Who else? *Massive crowd raise hands* ... Quote 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...
HITMAN-X- Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why don't you try what I already said. Find a good mac to pc font converter and try to convert the turetype font for mac to pc. Then you may be able to use your font. Other then that there notthing that anyone can do as OpenType fonts don't work with Paint.NET.
