Sorry, if my post was somewhat unclear. What I was trying to say is, that in the context of The Gimp, 'gfig' doesn't make any sense to me (partially due to the very difficult handling). For those tasks programs like Inkscape are much better suited (and much easier to handle). So, it would seem logical to me to abandon 'gfig' and concentrate more on important things like the text tool. Since I'm not a programmer, I didn't know that the text tool already *does* include the text in vector format. What I had in mind is a tool where you can scale/rotate etc. the text /before/ is is rendered as a bitmap. In Photoshop, there are text fx available as well. Claus
