[Gimp-user] Text Won't Enlarge Past 30 PX

2011-02-27 Thread Andrew Hall
I am a new Gimp user and have just started working on my first  
project with this application. Unfortunately, I ran into a roadblock  
almost immediately. I am unable to make text any larger than 30 PX. I  
can enter larger sizes than this in the Text Tool window, but any  
value greater than 30 has no effect. It doesn't matter whether I am  
trying to change existing text or am setting up the Text Tool for  
entering some new text. Selecting different units for the text size  
makes no difference in the maximum text size.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Andy Hall

Are you using a scalable font?

I don't have any trouble making text as large as I might want.  However,
if I make it too large to fit in the image frame, it gets truncated.
When you use the text tool, it produces a small window in which you
enter the text, and it is then that you vary the font and size.  Also,
if I want to modify the size later, all I have to do is make sure I
choose the layer containing the text.   Look at the layers window.   If
you are making multiple attempts to create text, you may end up making
more than one text layer, and in that case, you should make sure you've
selected the one you want to change.
 
 Any ideas?
