Good program for text fonts ?

[RockmanForte]

I try MS PAINT but it is not good. For an example...

resolutation size is 80X8 and I have to zoom it to 8x to see text better so I erase it and type it but it wont let me to type it so I zoom it back to original size and I am able to type it but it is difficult because it is too small. HELP ? Thanks.

EDIT: I need a program to make to ZOOM into a font to erase then type while ZOOM ?

I am afraid I can't understand what on earth you are saying despite your edit...

MS Word allows you to zoom into pages though...and type like that....as would Open office or pretty much any office program. Or in those programs you could type large and then just reduce the font size afterwards.

I am not sure that's what you want though...if it's to add on to a picture specifically then GIMP or Paint.NET or pretty much any image editor which is not MS Paint should allow it.

If you are just after random different fonts, then google around for free font sites and then download some fonts seperately and then place them in your fonts folder in your Windows directory...

Or there are various different font previewers available for download aswell if you just want to look at the various different fonts on your PC, just google around a bit.

I hope one of my suggested answers gives you your solution...if not then please find some other way of saying it.

You mean Microsoft Office Word ? If so, that mean I have to buy it ?

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

You mean you don't already have it? I thought everybody had some sort of copy that came with their PC....

Well then try OpenOffice...as I said any office suite should work...

Yes, that's what I need.

Well, my computer is 6 years old I think. It didn't came with this computer at all. I will get this one, thanks.

[RockmanForte]

Ok, I will!!!

By the way, cute pirate kitten, lol!

EDIT: I have it and I cannot find the erase icon, brush, and pick color (MS PAINT CALLED IT) in this program. Where is it?

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

=/....so you were after an image editor afterall....well then GIMP or Paint.NET would be the way to go I guess.....

Sorry with the way you asked the question I can't understand what you are after so I just assumed you might want simply a way of writing text small.

[RockmanForte]

Thanks for being nice to me. Sorry about that. I am in hurry.

I have GiMP and I like it but one more problem is that I cannot find something in GiMP like this:

[NamesSolidSnake]

You need add an alpha channel.

Click in the menu bar "layer>transparency>add alpha channel"

[RockmanForte]

Oh.. but I cannot find it. I double click GiMP icon and I dont see anywhere to find it.

[NamesSolidSnake]

GiMP doesn't have that exact option.

Why do you need it?

[RockmanForte]

I dont want background to be white. MS Paint was very helpful but zoom in and type isn't working. GIMP can do that but background is white and I need familiar to ms paint so I can continue.

[NamesSolidSnake]

What color do you want it to be? Why not just use the bucket to color the backround?

[RockmanForte]

No, that's not what I mean but thanks anyway. I figure it out and I understand now because it is difficult for me to figure it out and I got it. I really like GIMP. Neat program.

[NamesSolidSnake]

Okay, glad you figured it out

If you have anymore questions about GiMP, you can ask me as I also use GiMP.
