You might have just caught a Gimp 2.6 with Debian 6 (EOL 2016), but that image has the blocks of text flattened to a bitmap - not really editable. There is also an active selection in your image that needs promoting to a layer, if you want to progress. Adding the card symbols. Any number of ways: The linux orthodox way, using unicode U plus a character code. see the attached file. Other ways. Do all your text in some other application such as LibreOffice which has a special symbol facility then copy/paste into the Gimp text tool. Use a character map and copy/paste individual symbols into the Gimp text tool. examples: https://i.imgur.com/zSuJxze.jpg Then the quick-n-dirty way. Make brushes for the 4 shapes and paint in as a "stamp" Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1071/original/suites.xcf -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ 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
