Hints and Tips
TIP 1 -> if you don’t
want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or
other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as the software’s window is opened, your
font will be available in PSP.
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4,
in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have
been replaced by -->
« Mirror » --> image -> mirror -> mirror
horizontal
« Flip » --> image -> mirror -> mirror
vertical
