On 03/09/10 11:52, Gracia M. Littauer wrote: can one add font dirs to gimp, if so how.. The standard way is to do the following: Edit - Preferences In preferences click on the arrow next to Folders, scroll down. Here is where things get hairy. On *Nix you should by default have two entries: /home/user/.gimp-2.x/fonts (replace x with your point version) /usr/local/share/gimp/fonts On Windows, I don't know off the top of my head, if you are running Windows, perhaps someone else with access to a Windows box will be able to tell you what you should find there. Now you can either add fonts to those directories OR, at least on my FreeBSD-8.0-RELEASE-p2 machine, you can create a dot directory (like .gimp-2.x in the above example) called .fonts and drop all your fonts in there. If you do that, you won't have any extra steps. If, however, you want to put your fonts elsewhere, these are the steps to add a folder to that list for GIMP to look in for fonts. Hit the folder button to the extreme right to start browsing for the directory that you want to add. During this process you can create a folder while browsing for one by selecting create folder option in the window that you use to browse the directory. When done select ok, hit the white paper to add the directory to the list, click ok and restart The GIMP. From then on it will look in those folders to see those fonts. If I'm missing a step (perhaps for Windows), I hope someone will add to this reply (also correcting me if I've missed a step). -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

[Gimp-user] The Gimp is BIG now
I used Gimp back when it first came out and I use to know my way around it pretty well. Not anymore! I just got Gimp 2.6.8 and OMG...it has like 100x the feature set of the original! I'm lost and can't make it work. :( So, I thought that if I explain what I need to do maybe some of you could point me in the right direction. I'm trying to create an icon for my guild in an MMO. The icon must be exactly 20x20 pixels and no more than 57k bytes total. Easy enough. I want to use the head of an digital image I found, cut it out, create a mirror of it, then rotate it 45 degrees (so that I can get the largest image of the head as possible), and then paste it onto a 200x200 pink (255 R/0 G/ 255B) canvas. I will then reduce the image down to 20x20 and import it into the game. The pink layer will be transparent in the final in-game product. I think I can figure out how to rotate the 2nd, head, layer without disturbing the pink layer...But I'm having problems with creating the mirror image. Where is the mirror function in the menus? Is there a mirror function in Gimp? I hope you can help me...Thanks a bunch, guys! -- JamesGreen (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] ?? Status of remembering Layers setting for Canvas Resizing -- in most recent version
If this issue has not been addressed yet and if I can't find anything in Bugzilla on it, I want to make an Enhancement Suggestion, first on the Gimp-Developer list, then Bugzilla. However, I don't have the quick or convenient ability to check the current status of this issue in the most recent Gimp version. (I am a user only and am not involved in installing such programs.) I am hoping that somebody who has the most recent version can check this for me. Thanks in advance. Image Canvas Size in the Set Image Canvas Size dialog in the Layers section at the bottom there are five different possible settings, including None, All Layers, etc. etc. In Gimp 2.6.6 (Ubuntu Linux 8.04) this defaults to None and ALWAYS remains none EVERY time I go to the dialog, even if I had it changed to something else on this image or a previous image. I believe that this setting should be remembered a) during the session of editing an image; b) during all sessions editing all images; and c) between sessions of shutting down and restarting Gimp. ?? Can somebody let me know if this has been changed (and is now remembered) since 2.6.6 ? ?? Does anybody think this should not be remembered ? Thanks.

Dick Hi Dick, Based on the way you worded what you said, I am not exactly sure we are speaking of the same behavior. I agree that what I am seeing is a design issue, not a bug. But to a user it has six legs and runs around on the floor. ;-) What I want is that type of setting to default to what I last used. So, yes, I want it to do the same action every time I do that task, until I tell it to do a different action. What it is doing now IS remembering a setting (always the same one no matter what I do) -- what it is remembering happens to be _never_ what I want to do. :-( It seems to me to be more useful to remember what the user does rather than some setting that the user never uses. Imagine if you had to sharpen a pencil EVERY time you wanted to use it. And every time you set it back down on the desk the point completely disappeared. ;-) Jay ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

What's unfortunate is that most of the tools in the toolbox have the ability to have their default settings changed, but many of the dialogs do not. It would be nice if the Save tool options on exit feature from the preferences could be expanded to the dialogs too. But where does it stop?

[Gimp-user] Use of tifftopnm and pnmtotiff to strip images -- ?? meaning of
I hope it's okay to ask this here. The use of tifftopnm and pnmtotiff was suggested in an earlier thread about stripping color profiles from TIFF images. Below I show tiffinfo before and after processing, as well as the tifftopnm and the pnmtotiff processes. ?? On the pnmtotiff, it said: pnmtotiff: computing colormap... pnmtotiff: Too many colors - proceeding to write a 24-bit RGB file. pnmtotiff: If you want an 8-bit palette file, try doing a 'ppmquant 256'. What does this mean Too many colors?? And of what significance might this be to me? I was previously told that this process clips colors but that Gimp does too so there would really be about the same result. What I don't understand is what colors it is getting rid of. (When I look at the before and after images, they look the same to me.) ?? This process also got rid of the Photoshop Data in this old file. I have no idea what that extra data was. Any idea what Photoshop might have added -- I don't put comments into my images. Does it leave empty space for comments even though you did not use comments? The process did cut the file size from 2,850,625 to 2,844,590 which change is LESS than the total of the ICC Profile and the Photoshop Data that were present in the original. It got rid of them, but did not quite reclaim all the space. == tiffinfo BEFORE processing #: /q/images/jsa/source$ tiffinfo 00*tif 0001a_1st-issue_110001.tif: Warning, incorrect count for field MinSampleValue (1, expecting 3); tag ignored. 0001a_1st-issue_110001.tif: Warning, incorrect count for field MaxSampleValue (1, expecting 3); tag ignored.
