Thanks Gary. Sorry for the layover on getting back on this. After checking the things you suggested, I'm thinking my problem might be in how viewing/measurements is set up. A 640x400 workspace, set to view at 100% is taking up almost the whole screen. And it's showing a 12 pt font to be enormous. I'll dig into those settings later today and report back if I find anything that might be an east solution. Thanks again. -- Lougha (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
