Как установить шрифт в clip studio paint
Manga and comic fans have Clip Studio Paint at their disposal to turn any graphic story they can think of into reality. Developed by the Japanese company Celsys, this raster graphics editor offers unique tools that facilitate the digital creation of comics, but it also has traditional options to design any type of drawing. Among them is the option to add texts, but its default collection could be very limited for many artists. That is why today we will teach you how to add fonts to Clip Studio Paint.
The program started as an illustration application for Mac OS X, but nowadays has versions for Windows and iPad. Among the most notable tools in Clip Studio Paint are the creation of speech bubbles, inking drawings, managing multiple pages, applying textures, 2D animation, and many other options.
If you have found yourself in this predicament, you should know that you can update its font gallery, and the process is very easy. It will even work for other programs.

In graphic design, a font can make the difference between striking text and expressionless text. Moreover, when it comes to creating expressive characters, texts are necessary.
What fonts can I install?
Among the file types you can get are OpenType (OTF), OpenType SVG (SVG), True Type (TTF), Variable Fonts, Multiple Master, Composite, and Adobe Fonts.
The magic of Clip Studio fonts
Animation and comics require a special approach regarding texts. In traditional advertising jobs, the fonts must be eye-catching, while in academic or business presentations, the font must be legible. In comics, this too is important, but you should also use glyphs that show emotion.
Artists generally prefer to use comic fonts that help them express emotions. Irregularly patterned letters that keep the comic looking lively despite being static images.
Although many designers hate such irregular fonts, the most innocent, cartoonish, or expressive projects could not live without them.
Manual method
The installation of your new font will be done directly on the computer and not inside Clip Studio Paint. This means that you can even use them in other programs once they are installed.
- The first step is to download the font you want to install. You can find many options online with a simple search, or you can even download them from the Adobe library. Please note that these files will probably come compressed into a RAR or ZIP that you will need to unzip.
- The unzipped file should have some OTF, TTF, SVG, TFF, EOT extension.
- Proceed to close all the programs that are running so that the installation is done without errors.
- Drag, or Copy and Paste, your new font into the Fonts folder, and it should install automatically.
Automatic method
Remember that before doing this process, you must close all the running programs. Once finished, you can restart them to check if your new font has been installed.
With this technique, you can also install multiple fonts at the same time, you just have to select them all and then right-click on one to press the “Install” option.
After finishing any of the methods, you can open Clip Studio Paint or any other program that allows you to enter texts to check if the font was installed. Once you check it, you can delete the file you downloaded.
Automatic method
Manual way
Alternatively, you can install the font on Mac manually.
Remember to close the running programs and restart the computer when finished. Now you can check in Clip Studio Paint if the font has been installed.
Adding fonts to Clip Studio Paint is so easy that it can even be done in the iPad app. For this, you only need to synchronize the application with your Clip Studio Cloud account, and the fonts you have stored in the cloud will be installed.
Now you know how to add fonts to Clip Studio Paint in any of its versions. We do not recommend that you install many fonts at the same time, as they could end up slowing your work.
How to find the installed fonts in Clip Studio Paint
Clip Studio Paint has three different ways to find a font, adapting to any user.
- The first option is very similar to the one used in Office programs. You can find it on the left side with an A icon with horizontal lines. Clicking it will display a list without a preview of available fonts.
- The second option, located in the center, will display the same list, but in this case, it will do so with a preview of the font.
- The third option, located on the right, serves to preview the text that you highlight with the new font. This last alternative is not so useful on small screens.
You can resize the font panel in Clip Studio Paint, but there is no way to save these changes for future sessions.

Ребят, подскажите, пожалуйста, как объединить анимационные папки в одну?
Вера, наверное никак.
Можно слои из одной анимационной папки перенести в другу, по объединять соответствующие слои в папки и заново назначить кадры уже не на слои, а папки со слоями. Только так, заморочисто.
Нужно было сразу, если несколько анимационных папок не нужно в одной анимационной папке все делать.
Простите, ещё раз, а управление камерой как происходит. тоже что-то найти не могу
а вопросы которые на стене были, где? найти не могу, уже глаза болят всё перечитывать в обсуждениях
Дон, удалены. Автор группы решил сделать вопросы, только в обсуждениях.
Можно ли в программе устанавливать другие шрифты, которые могли бы работать с русским языком?
Женя, что на компе установил, все в твоем распоряжении, как и в других программах
Alexander, окей, но что мне делать, если я выбираю шрифт, который работает на русском фотошопе? В клип студио он просто не работает и вообще не видно, что он там есть. Хоть, этот шрифт я сама и устанавливала все как положено.
Женя, это ты что-то выдумываешь, программы просто работает со шрифтами которые установлены в систему и не имеет значение русский это фотошоп или не русский, или клип студио, или корел русский не русский, ворд..
Наверно очень глупый вопрос, но. как в клип студио работать с текстом? В плане редактирования как обычного объекта - искажение, вращение и т.д. Должна же быть такая возможность - прога для комиксов как никак. Но я вот что-то не найду.
Натах, как с текстом только с атрибутами текста можно работать. Шрифт, размер, цвет, жирный, наклонный, обводку добавить и тд Только с такими параметрами.
Искажение, вращение уже растрировать нужно. Растрированный можно пустить даже по кривой, если на его основе сделать кисть. Уже настроенная кисть есть в стандартных, там только наконечник заменить на свое изображение. Если и донастроить, то минимально.
Александр, сложные слова, если честно)) я немного бабуся во всем этом) Можно поподробнее, что значит растрировать и т.д.?
Натах, в растр превратить, в обычное изображение из пиксилей) Например, правой кнопкой в палитре слоев по слою и там выбрать растрировать.
Натах, а что б наконечник для кисти сделать нужно в материалах зарегистрировать, это в меню Edit и там галочку поставить использовать в качестве формы для кисти. В натройках кисти выбираешь свой наконечник. Можно и просто этой кистью штрих провести, а можешь на векторном слое создать кривую(векторная линия)) это может и круг и прямоугольник быть) и к ней применить свою кисть
Александр, хм, не, это как-то сложно все. А есть способ просто, как в том же саи, выделить объект и искажать его вручную? точечки передвигать, например, как с диалоговыми окошками это реализовано
Choosing a font in Clip Studio Paint can be a pain in the neck. But there is some help if you click some tiny buttons. It’s just a little hidden.
In the Text tool properties, click on the Font drop down too show a list of fonts available for your use.
If you have a lot of fonts installed in your system — and you can see I’m pushing 1000 here — that drop down list is prohibitively long. Remembering what each font looks like by name is a skill that I don’t have. Clip Studio Paint can help you out a little, though, by listing the fonts in three different ways.
At the bottom, you’ll see three tiny buttons. I hope you have a big screen.
Here, let me zoom in on it for you.
I’ll cover them from left to right:
2. The middle button, though, shows the font list in alphabetical order in the style of the font, itself. (I like the looks of AppleGothic as a font…)
3. The button on the right will list the fonts in alphabetical order using the highlighted text instead of the font name, but in the style of the font. It’s a nice idea, but it’s so small on your screen that it’s still hard to judge.
Also, as you use CSP more, you’ll find yourself relying on a core set of fonts. You’ll start remembering their names and choosing them based on that. At some point, all the fonts trying to be Helvetica start to blend together, and this method will suffer.
If you have no text highlighted, Clip Studio Paint will give you a default selection of text with letters and numbers, as seen in the screen shot above.
Bonus Tip: View More Fonts
The pane that shows the list of fonts is re-sizable. Assuming your pane is on the left side of the screen, grab the lower right corner and drag it away to increase the number of fonts on display. Clip Studio Paint will not remember how you had resized it the next time you go back to the list, though.
The Take Away
In a perfect world, the highlighted text in the image would change as you hovered over each font. That kind of early preview would be very helpful.
Choosing between these three settings might help you focus in on just the font you want to select. Personally, I like the middle option the best. It’s not as legible as I’d like it to be, but it’s clear enough. Extending out the size of the window is nice, but gets tedious after doing it too many times in a row.
If you rely on a core set of fonts, you can simplify this process a lot by making a new font list, which we will cover later this week.
Bonus Q&A
How To Add Fonts to Clip Studio Paint?
The fonts you see in Clip Studio Paint come from your operating system’s font library. If there’s a font you want to use in CSP, add it to your computer’s font library and it’ll appear inside CSP. (In the Mac’s case, double click on the font file to open it in FontBook and then click the “Install Font” button.)
How Can I Better Organize My Fonts Inside of CSP?
Glad you asked, because I have a whole article on that. Go read “Finding Fonts Easier With Font List.” It’ll show you how to create collections of fonts so you can find them easier. It’s a technique that’s specific to CSP.
