[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2002-12-12 at 1550.09 -0500): First I would like to say Im not trying to start a flamewar here... but will the win32 Gimp target ever support Photoshop plugins, Seaching in Google you can see http://www.gimp.org/ (scroll down to GIMP 1.2.3 for Windows Released) or a more precise thing like http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2001-December/006179.html You can try places like http://registry.gimp.org/ too, and you will find that user filter make filter factory plugins-kind work too. So seems at least some kind works, dunno if the factory ones are the same than the 8bf ones, or if there a lot of other kinds, but at least one does, maybe more. and will the *nix x86 Gimp target ever support Photoshop plugins via Wine? Dunno, if anybody wants and tries, maybe. Other option is to recode them from scratch (more portable, fixable, probably without money charge, etc).

[Gimp-developer] Photoshop Plugin Support
Hey all, its me again. First I would like to say Im not trying to start a flamewar here... but will the win32 Gimp target ever support Photoshop plugins, and will the *nix x86 Gimp target ever support Photoshop plugins via Wine? -- Patrick Diablo-D3 McFarland || [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. --Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 msg03393/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
re: [Gimp-developer] 1.3.10 failing to use system fonts.
After some research, I've discovered some things about fonts, gimp, and linux. (Some of this may be old news to many of you, but it was new to me because I'm not a font expert.) On RH8.0 (and probably other dist's as well) there are 3 font handlers. The first is the traditional X font server "xfs" or "xfstt" on some systems. The other two font handlers are Xft and the new Xft2. Xfs gets it's configuration from the familiar /etc/X11/XF86Config file and from /etc/X11/fs/config. Nothing new here. The Xft font handler uses /etc/X11/XftConfig for it's config (it may also be in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 as well). But the newest version of Xft called Xft2 uses a pair of new config files which live in /etc/fonts called "fonts.conf" and "fonts.dtd". It seems that Gnome now uses Xft2 for it's fonts because when I added the directories to the new config file, then ran "fc-cache" in the font directory, the new fonts suddenly became available to Gnome applications with the exception ofGimp. I also added the new font directories to the older XftConfig file so that they would be available to any app using Xft. Gimp now sees the fonts, but only about a third of them look right. The other two-thirds seem to be usinga default font in place of the actual selected font. So for example, if I chose one of the microsoft fonts, I get the default "sans" font instead. This situtation kinda sucks because I have a lot of nice looking fonts which are useless under 1.3.10, but work perfectly under 1.2.3. I'm not sure why the font hadlers have become so fragmented under X/Gnome/Gimp, but it would be nice if there was some way to regain the use of the font libraries which worked under earlier versions of Gimp.
