Strickalator Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Looking for fonts and plugins that would allow to make panels in comic book format...looking for some good word baloons and fonts and effect fonts (like if i put a freeze ray in a comic panel the lettering would have ice on it) are there any plugins,fonts ect for Paint.NET that would help?

TheVoid Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Try searching Dafont.com they have tons of fonts for tons of purposes. :wink: Quote [My DeviantART] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strickalator Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 :?: How do you import the fonts? do you import just to windows and then Paint.NET reads the available fonts? Quote Shawn Edward Strickland "The Strickalator" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 yep put them in the windows font folder, then as long as there true type font, Paint.NET will load them on the next start up Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Anyways, you'll just have to completely do it by hand. And then at least next time you do it you can just do it instead of messing around getting every perfect. Or you could get this http://plasq.com/ It's $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strickalator Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 :!: well actually i should explain.. I already have an artist and a colorist for a project we are working on I am the writer and editor and trying to do the lettering too. So i don't need a full on program to make a comic...as this so far is not going to be sold or anything I just wanted to do the lettering and edit the text ect with paint.NET Quote Shawn Edward Strickland "The Strickalator" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 look on dafont.com for handwriten text, that should help with the writing part of it, but just incase you dont know this, once you put text in paint.net you cant edit it Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

Strickalator Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Heres something I did with combining microsoft word pad and paint.NET along with the artists image blended in. Quote Shawn Edward Strickland "The Strickalator" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't understand me. Text layers basicallly means the ability to save text so it can be re-edited at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
