Hey, Schmob!

no worries. In my version of PSP ( also 9), you are unable to adjust font size in pixels, so I stuck to doing them by hand, although it’s a bit of a killer if you have a load to do (like forum buttons), not so bad if you just want to create a menu bar, or something.

Later versions of Paint Shop Pro allow you to measure in px size, so perhaps they work better
