I use Inkscape to do serious text manipulation. It's the Right Thing To Do: Fonts are vector files, so use a vector editor. Inkscape exports clean crisp PNG files at any scale, just drop them into the GIMP and viola.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.10 on a Debian family Linux box, no wackiness noted. The roommmate has the latest stable build in the 2.8 series on Windows 7 or 10, no wackiness there either. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
