Okay. I understand the font tool et cetera. But on my font toolbar it has all these weird things like "joints" and "lines" and what not. I can't seem to make the font what I want, and I can never change the font style after I have chosen. Is this normal?

yep. its annoying.

i miss psp9...

Are you serious? How the hell does anyone else get it to work then

Okay, I'm bumping this because I need to know how to use font on PSP8.

Please don't double post, even if you were to bump it. Some one will get to this sooner or later.

its annoying, but you just keep redoing it until you get it how you want.

you can rotate it, change its size, etc., though. no need to redo it for that. but you cant change the color/font. you can always change the actual text.

You can click on the text and change the options... Right-clicking also gives you options you can change. At least... You can in PSP9.

gr. It appears to have only an outline as the text, and there is no way to put a shasow on or anything. ???
