Proper Text/Font Tool for Painter

Hello, we need a regular font tool, similar to the text editor in Photoshop and in Substance Designer.
The predefined fonts in Painter are rarely suitable to use because the font don't fit the objects we are texturing. So to get a proper font we need to go to photoshop, type in a bunch of text and export into different files, import and then use them. This is very much back and forth process in order to see how it looks and its no ideal. So its better to have the option to choose the desired font directly in Painter.  

 

So what we need is EXACTLY as the Text Node in Designer with the same functionality, I need to be able to change font type (Like any other software) change size, rotation, alignment, size.

 

 

Please add this as this is extremely useful. Thank you 🙂

    I personally have trouble understanding the issue, but I trust our legal team to give us the best advice!

    I see, then if its licencing issue would it not be more easy now when substance is owned by ADOBE that does have a huge library of fonts? 🙂

    We know this is an issue in Painter and we want to improve it. Some issues persist especially from a licensing perspective!

    Coudln't agree more! Having a proper font tool or at least one that utilizes standard type features would be a wonderful addition.
