How do I enter normal text in Microsoft Paint? Normally I don't have any problems adding text to an image in Paint. But I ran into this problem:
The text is supposed to be "abcdefd" (entered in a text editor and pasted). The same characters appear if typed directly. So apparently it is using some other character set. How do I restore normal operation? Platform: MS Paint 5.2, Windows XP Professional x64 SP2, 8 GB RAM.

Right click in a text field and choose the "Text Toolbar" option to bring up a font selection menu. | |||

Looks like you're using Wingdings or some other crazy font. When using the text tool, a toolbar should appear which will let you change the font. | |||

You have a symbol font, Wingdings or Webdings I believe. Change the font face. | |||

Not totally an answer to the question, but rather a suggestion: A nice and free replacement for MSPaint could be Paint.NET. It offers more and better functionalities than MSPaint. | |||
