I now have to letter my comics with a font instead of by hand. Carpal tunnel has made hand lettering too painful and hard to control. I notice that most of the instructions I see about computer lettering assume that you have Adobe Illustrator. The best graphics program I currently own is Paint Shop Pro 8.

Anyone out there actually use PSP for their lettering? Recommendations, hints, etc? Or should I have my head examined for even thinking about using something other than Illustrator for a job like this?

Don't know about PSP, but many paint programs render text as a bitmap, meaning if you send the graphics to a printer it will not recognize the text is a font, nor scale it to match the printer's best quality output.
