I agree about the workaround with the text rectangle, but this is without IrfanPaint, I guess.
But, and I don't know why, Irfan Paint has another collection of fonts, and I needed one of those.
Extra small ones, I was trying to get 3 chars on a button of 24x24.

I understand the functions of the crosshair, but I think using "Hold to Preview" can be seen as trying good luck too.
And I'm not that convinced by your picture.
If the thin line under 'text' is supposed to be that baseline, then I see quite a margin.
If this is a correct position, because there could be chars used like 'y' or 'g',
then this margin will probably be fontsize dependable.

Farbhexe shows x-y coords allright, but then what ? That post was about color picking btw.
So let me rephrase my request.
I don't mind that much about showing the coords, as long as I can get the crosshair on the right spot next time.
Now, if a "Hold to Preview" is wrong, one has to cancel and try again until the right position is found.
It would be nice to get this position saved, maybe by doing Shift click or such.
So the next time the text tool is active, the crosshair starts at the same position.
Of course this is only useful when dealing with a series of pics with the same dimensions.
