Re: [Gimp-user] Font-Questions
Hi, Florian Huber [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: some fonts are not filled with an solid color, but have regular gradient patterns instead. (I could send a screenshot to the list, but maybe this problem is already known). These fonts are: Charter, Helvetica, Lucida, New Century Schoolbook etc. whereas other fonts like the BitStream-fonts are displayed correctly. You are most probably not using the very latest PangoFT2. Please try again with GIMP-1.3.17; it now includes the code that used to live in PangoFT2. I also want to use the artwiz fonts in gimp. What do I have to change? BTW: All fonts are displayed correctly in xfontsel. Which font-interface does gimp use? Xft and/or the xfree one? GIMP-1.3 doesn't use X11 to render fonts. It uses PangoFT2 which shares it's configuration with the Xft2 backend. Thus fonts are configured via fontconfig. Please read the man-page on fonts.conf that explains how to configure all this.

( And I don't think that many users really use mnemonics, The main use of mnemonics is probably when you use the tablet instead of the mouse ) Maybe that's because there were no mnemonics in GIMP till now. Note that you can use the mnemonics as shortcuts and you will not run out of key combinations. You can now do Shift+F10,I,M,I to index an image; Shift+F10,L,C,C to get to the curves dialog etc. You can even get rid of the rather obscure Shift+F10 combo by making the menubar visible on the image windwo and using Alt instead. The clash with dynamic shortcut assignment lies in a situation where you press a mnemonic key, but a key shortcut gets assigned to the current menu item instead. That's I understood. I made this try in Gimp 1.3.17 : 1- ALT+F, N open the 'new' dialog 2- ALT+F+N reassign the shortcut ALT+N to the 'new' menu item 3- ALT+F, ALT+F or ALT+F+F beep, do nothing (new security in the last gimp if I am not wrong) Situation 2 is still a problem... and I admit that for people who use mnemonics it's not funny because ALT+F+N is very close to ALT+F,N An other case is Shift+F10,F,F reassign the shortcut F to the 'new' menu item but in this case it's like selecting a wrong item with the mouse, we can't avoid a wrong use of the mouse or the keyboard. Here only disable dynamic shortcuts is a (radical) solution. Yes it sucks, but I'd rather not have mnemonics not implemented because of dynamic shortcuts. I like both fuctions and I hate they clash. If someone has a better solution/implementation that would be sweet. Not possible to reassign any shortcut that begin with ALT ? Situation 2 will disappear. I'm greatful for the current solution, since it is still nicer to use dynamic shortcuts than some obscure complicated shortcut editor or messing this an rc file.
