xx_beajerz_xx Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I downloaded paint.net and I really enjoy messin around with it; However, I try and put the typing into it, and it won't let me. I was wondering about it I was supposed to download the fonts or is there something I'm doing wrong? I'd appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well, 1. Make sure you have the Text tool selected and you've selected a location on the picture to type. 2. Make sure your primary color isn't the same as the background. Also, it's a good idea to type text on a new layer so that it's easier to edit later, but that's not necessary. Let me know if this helps! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

BoltBait Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Make sure you don't have an active selection ( :SelectAll: etc.) when trying to use the text tool. If you try to type outside of your current selection it won't let you--nothing shows up. Just press ESC or click :Deselect: before clicking Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 It may also be because the font your trying to use isn't compatitble with PDN, actually, that gives me an interesting question, why does it only allow certain file types? It's more for curosity than wanting it fixes, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
