Ah I see now, you're right. I thought I tried adjusting the line width before but I must've had the layer frozen then or perhaps I'm misremembering and was looking in the wrong place. >_<'

Sheet effects are turned off by default. Click on the 'sheets' button on the top bar, check 'Activate Sheet Effects', and then click the 'Apply' button.

Double check your layers and sheets if you have 'text' hidden.

Also check your current font size, maybe the text is too small to see.

No problem, glad to help out a fellow mapper.

I'd recommend watching tutorials on youtube, that's how I started. Aside from Profantasy's official channel I found Joe Sweeney's channel very helpful. There're a few other channels too.

It was a fresh download, I had just purchased the Humble Bundle. I was on Linux, but switched over to a Windows machine and there it unzipped normally. Strange, usually it's the other way around for me. Issue is resolved now. :D
