Problem with Text
First of all -- I use PSP 9
I'm trying to make curved text.
I followed all the tutorials exactly....but for some reason my text won't show up when im typing.
My Text Toolbar:
My Drawing Toolbar:
-First, I open a 350x350 transparent image
-Set my Foreground Color to Black; Set Background to Null
-Then I select my pen tool -- and with the settings above, I draw a curved line
-Then I click on my Text button -- and with the settings above I click on the curved line and I get the A with the little Curve thing under it...I click on it once and a blank text box opens.
-I set my Foreground color to Null and my Background to Red and proceed to type..but nothing shows up.
-I do get a huge text box on the lower left corner of my document though...but its straight text that I have to drag over to see.
-Also, when I look over in my layers palette and click the (+) by Vector 1 it shows both the Text that I typed (but that didn't show up on the document) and the line curve that I drew).
I have checked and re-checked my settings...but I'm almost positive i have everything right. I even tried closing and re-opening my PSP. I can see regular text...but for some reason the curved text will not show up at all.
Does anyone know what could be wrong??
EDIT: Problem Fixed! I just needed the leading and the offset to both be set at 0.
