* Fonts I added to Tux Paint only show squares
The TrueType Font you're using might have the wrong encoding. If it's
'custom' encoded, for example, you can try running it through FontForge
(http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/) to convert it to an ISO-8859 format.
(Email us if you need help with special fonts.)
* The Rubber Stamp tool is greyed out!
This means that Tux Paint either couldn't find any stamp images, or was
asked not to load them.
If you installed Tux Paint, but did not install the separate, optional
"Stamps" collection, quit Tux Paint and install it now. It should be
available from the same place you got the main Tux Paint program. (Note:
As of version 0.9.14, Tux Paint comes with a small collection of example
stamps.)
If you don't want to install the default collection of stamps, you can
just create your own. See the README documentation for more on creating
PNG image files, TXT text description files, WAV sound files, and DAT
text data files that make up stamps.
Finally, if you install the stamps, and think they should be loading,
check to see that the "nostamps" option isn't being set. (Either via a
"--nostamps" option to Tux Paint's command line, or "nostamps=yes" in
the configuration file.)
If so, either change/remove the "nostamps" option, or you can override
it with "--stamps" on the command line or "nostamps=no" or "stamps=yes"
in a configuration file.

<p>This means that Tux&nbsp;Paint either couldn't find any stamp images,
or was asked not to load them.</p>
<p>If you installed Tux&nbsp;Paint, but did not install the separate,
optional "Stamps" collection, quit Tux&nbsp;Paint and install it now.
It should be available from the same place you got the main
Tux&nbsp;Paint program. <i>(Note: As of version 0.9.14, Tux&nbsp;Paint
comes with a small collection of example stamps.)</i></p>
<p>If you don't want to install the default collection of stamps,
you can just create your own. See the <a href="README.html">README
documentation</a> for more on creating PNG image files, TXT text
description files, WAV sound files, and DAT text data files that
make up stamps.</p>
<p>Finally, if you install the stamps, and think they should be loading,
check to see that the "nostamps" option isn't being set.
(Either via a "--nostamps" option to Tux&nbsp;Paint's command line, or
"nostamps=yes" in the configuration file.)</p>
<p>If so, either change/remove the "nostamps" option, or you can
override it with "--stamps" on the command line or
"nostamps=no" or "stamps=yes" in a configuration file.</p>
