[Gimp-user] Gimp-2.0 text tool problems
Im finding my way around Gimp-2.0 but have a couple of queries about the text tool.. Firstly, how do you create text at an angle, on gimp 1.2.3 it had an angle dialogue in the dyntext dialogue, I cannot find one in gimp-2.0. Secondly ( this is driving me mad !) Once the text has been entered, you cannot just grab and move it, you have to select the layer, select move, then move it. If its the wrong size, you have to re-select the layer, T then select the text, then adjust the font, colour Is there an easier way that I have overlooked ? Any advice gratefully recieved Cheers Dave PS Gimp 2.0 is great ! I love it. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Firstly, how do you create text at an angle, on gimp 1.2.3 it had an angle dialogue in the dyntext dialogue, I cannot find one in gimp-2.0. Rotated text will hopefully be included in gimp-2.2. If you need rotated text with gimp-2.0, I suggest you use the Freetype plug-in (see http://freetype.gimp.org/). Secondly ( this is driving me mad !)

The plan is to allow to move the text layer using the text tool but that's not yet implemented. For now you can use the Space key to temporarily switch to the move tool. That's not ideal but it makes things easier. Sven Thanks for the tips I will give them a go. Gimp 2.0 is amazing I am sure these few glitches will be sorted soon Cheers Dave ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Toolbox area ? whats it for ?
OK I know this is a stupid Gimp2 question - When I start gimp 2 (ps its amazing) I get the toolbox a large blank area underneath it. What is this area for ? I assume you can drag menus into it but no matter what I try I can't get anything to drag drop there. Dave PS I did search the on board gimp help files but I could not find any meantion there :-) ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
