How to Use Custom Fonts

I might as well share with y’all how to add custom fonts too! This is good if one wants more specialized fonts or is looking for customization in other languages. (Infinite fonts when compared to XAXA’s amazing plugin!)

  1. Find a font you like and download it. I like dafont.com in particular- just make sure you’re legally allowed to use and download the font!

  2. Double-click on the zip folder with the font you want:

  3. Double-click on the TrueType font file of your choice:

  5. Open up Paint3D. Follow the steps in the OP, and when choosing fonts to apply to your text, select the font you just installed in the dropdown!

6.Remember to highlight the text when selecting the font or the font will not apply. Voilà!

Q&A:

Q: What sites can I use to find fonts other than dafont.com?
A: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/ is another great site, and so is https://www.1001freefonts.com/

Q: Does this only work with alphanumeric scripts?
A: As long as the font you’ve downloaded supports whatever language you choose, this method can apply to any script!

Q: Who is XAXA??
A: This is XAXA’s 3D font plugin. It’s widely used and I highly recommend it if you want very quick and easy 3D text with more or less limited font selection + only alphanumeric support. Really, go check it out, I use it quite often!

Thank you all for reading this!
