Where can I find picture tubes and fonts for Paint Shop Pro X2?

I just got the Paint Shop Pro X2 program and want to know where I can find picture tubes that work with version, along with fonts or any other cool things. I want to do digital scrapbooking if that helps any. Also, I’m not sure how people usually do the letter on their graphics.. is it a font, or letter graphics? Thanks

Paint Shop Pro uses the fonts that are installed on your computer. You don’t install fonts into the program. Fonts are “letter graphics”. They are scalable vectors and just like other vector graphics you can make them bigger and smaller without destroying their quality – their edges will always stay smooth and the font, readable – but, to answer your question, fonts are used for all lettering (unless you have a program that will allow you to construct your own fonts). There are a gazillion billion fonts roaming wild on the internet. They are divided into many catagories. If you plan on accumulating a lot of fonts, start right out by keeping them organized otherwise you’ll loose control of them. I speak from experience;-) Also, you don’t want to install every font you like, might need or really do need on your computer. The bulkiness of them will slow down every program that uses fonts. Store them in a folder on your Desktop or some other place that’s easy to remember. PSP can use uninstalled fonts. If you open your fonts folder, click on a font file to open it and then minimize it to the task bar, it will appear in the list of fonts in PSP and you can use it without installing it in Windows. If you’re working on a project that takes a few days to complete, make a note of what fonts you’re using so you can open them again the next time you work on the project.

Here are a few font sites. There are a lot more. Just google Fonts or Free Fonts.
