Start up Paint. Click the "A" icon for the text tool. Enter some text in a text box. If the Text Toolbar is not visibile, select View -> Text Toolbar so you can see it. In the Text Toolbar, select the very first font in the list. Since they are alphabetical, this might be Arial, unless you've installed other fonts that start with the letter 'A'. Now, with the first font highlighted, press your down arrow key to scroll through the list of fonts. As you do this, you'll see your text change to match the currently selected font.
Continue to scroll up or down until you find a font that looks good. In my case, once I've decided on a font, then I'll fire up PSP to actually create the image.
Note that I do not use Paint for creating images; the other programs I have do a much better job at that. But for deciding on a font to use, Paint does the trick quite nicely.
