Change font of existing text

[jj974]

Hi, a newbie here,

Suppose I typed some text. How can I select that text again to change e.g. the font?

1) This should be in GD&Q.

2) You can't.

Hi,

Please help a step further. What's "GD&Q"?

What do you do when you mistyped text or want to change it later on?

2)Like I said, you can't.

Hi,

When I'd like to change the direction of an existing arrow, I have to redraw it?

If it was on a new layer you could use "Layers->Rotate/Zoom".

You can put text on a new layer and when you mess up delete that layer and then make another layer and retype your text.

jj974 it be best to stop asking questions in this part of the forums.

You can ask your questions in General Discussion & Questions forum. But before you do that go read the rules as you have already broken 2 rules here.

A mod will most likey delete, move, or lock this topic because of that. More reason to make sure you read the rules so you don't waste your time making a post that will be deleted or locked.

Paint.net isn't all that great for adding text to an image, your better off using GIMP for that.

They're planning to add in something like that, but theres no info as to when that will be done.

Rick says it will require the new architecture coming with version 4.0, which is a little over a year or so away.

Type the wrong text in?

One you deleselct it or click elsewhere, its stuck.

So just press CTRL+Z to undo it

If you still have the text active, the arrow keys will let you go back and delete the wrong

character, and/or add a capital letter

Another trick - use the dropper to sample the font colour, then use paitnbrush set at (eg) 6 pixels to broad swipe it over

or pencil at 2 pixels to careful over write it.

I use this trick to change the dialogue text boxes in screenshots of software, cos writing manuals is wot I does, like.
