I’m trying to use Window’s (ME) “Small Fonts” bitmap font in Paint Shop Pro 7.02. Problem is, PSP doesn’t seem to recognize bitmap fonts. This is news to me, as I’m upgrading from PSP 3.something.

Any ideas?

Before you ask, I’ve already enabled non-ttf fonts in the Windows font applet.

Thank ye.

    - Can you print the fonts in Wordpad, and then screen capture the Wordpad window, and edit/layer it from that? -I know what you’re talking about, I have 7.02 also. I got it to do it once (somebody on the net had to tell me how exactly), but the problem was that PSP didn’t include the ability to scale the fonts at all, so that if the fonts were originally rendered as 12 pixels high PSP would only render them as 12 pixels high, no matter what, so doing it directly wasn’t of much use. - MC

Looks like a lost cause.

Good thing I’ve still got PSP 3 installed.

Thanks anyway.
