wait a sec--what i wrote earlier isn't right. i tried your steps again, and found that once you change the size of the text with the resize tool, the resulting image isn't a vector image anymore, means it can't be scaled without quality loss. you'll have to adjust the text size by editing the font size in the toolbox. then move the text layer to the exact position you want it. you can add borders or whatever on additional layers beneath the text layer (or above it, depending on what you want to do). -- phani. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
