Adding new fonts

Post by curtis72561 »

Hi everyone. I am trying to bring new fonts into my paint apps and having problems. I have downloaded a few different fonts and can't figure out how to get into my paint apps. I also looked for an import font option but found none. I am using Gimp 2.10, Paintnet and Paint shop. Is there a process I need to follow? I appreciate any help.

Hi...

Fonts aren’t added to your paint program - they’re added to your operating system - if they are true font files - you should be able to simply right click on them and select “install font”... Once installed in your OS - your paint programs should see them...

Regards,
Scott
