Hi there,

I'm pointing you to the direction of Dr. Path Tool (aka Simon Budig),
where you can express your deepest sympathies to the man who boldly went
where everyone else failed. ;)

Yes, you are right about the path tool being rewritten. It is currently
not possible to close a path, it's work in progress.

cheers

So, is gimptool in your path or not? That is, can you run
'gimptool --version' ?

Yes, the path tool is being completely rewritten.

 In 1.2 I could close the curve, click inside the closed curve, and
 then proceed to edit the points, adjusting the curve to fit whatever
 object I was trying to define.  In 1.3 I seem unable to close the
 curve at all, leading me to believe I am missing something *really*

You will have to wait until this feature has been implemented in the
new tool. It's simply not there yet.

[Gimp-user] Fonts in 1.3.x

2003-06-30 Thread Jeff Trefftzs

 This font selector dialog is likely to go away as soon as the font
 list/grid and popup widgets are good enough to replace it.
 
For some time now, on both 1.2.x and 1.3.x, I have noticed some
curiosities about the GIMP's font handling.  I have downloaded and
installed a number of true-type fonts, most of which work fine, as long
as I run xfstt to serve them up, but a few of these fonts behave
differently depending on which tool I use to view them.

In particular, using GIMP-1.2.5, the text tool by itself fails to show
any characters for several of my fonts, meaning I can't use them,
although the Freetype tool, while still not letting me use any of the
characters, will at least show them in the character grid.

In GIMP-1.3.15, I have similar problems, but now that I'm running RH-9
(a Gnome-2 system), I find that Nautilus can display *all* of my fonts,
at least to the point of popping up the gnome-font-viewer when I click
on the font file in Nautilus.  What are the plans to unify font
handling?  I realize this is a horribly hairy problem.

Ahhh!  No wonder.  Thanks for the news.  The more I use the newest Gimp,
the more I find myself liking it, even though it does take a bit of
getting used to ...
