Very important to learn for 2.8 is that the font size in the Tool Options dialog controls the "default" size of the text object, while the on-canvas dialog is a secondary size that only applies to selected text within that object, i.e. you can mix different sizes/styles in the same text layer (similar to a traditional word processor). Powerful, but you have to know it exists first. For example, if you have a text object with a default size of 18pt but one word in there is manually set to 12pt (67%), if you change the default size to 24 then the other word becomes 16 points (still 67%). -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
