I tried this and it didn't work. Do you make the text layer with the copyright invisible by hiding the layer (clicking the eye in the layers dialog) or by reducing the opacity to 0?

[Gimp-user] Help needed looking for a plug-in
Hi! Sometime last year, I used a Gimp 2.6 plugin which took an image and put vertical photo sprockets on the left and right sides of the image, with the text 1A printed on it. This plugin was similar to the filmstrip plugin except the filmstrip plugin puts the photo sprockets on the top and bottom of the image, not on the left and right sides. I've been looking for this plugin but I don't see it in my Gimp 2.6 installation anymore. Any ideas on which plugin I'm trying to describe? Again, it functions similar to the filmstrip plugin but it applies to only ONE image and puts the sprockets (the holes in the black edges of the photo, like a full color negative) on the left and right sides of the image. Thanks! Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you really need to have PNGs with indexed opacity in IE6, you have IE6 filters (they are written in CSS files) at your disposal.

There are ways to do this correctly and keep the image visually similar to the original 24-bit PNG (the one with alpha). You must know the color of the background on which you'll be putting the 8-bit PNG (binary transparency) before you can do so, though. Once you know the background color: 1. Create a layer filled with background color 2. Put the layer behind the image with drop shadow 3. Flatten the image and add alpha to the only remaining layer 4. Use select by color tool and click somewhere where background shows though 5. Clear the selection (delete it) 6. Now save the result as 8-bit PNG and it should work (Of course, it'll be clearer when you actually do these steps.) HTH Thanks for the info! :) Peace...

The problem with indexed colour is that the PNG format is still technically limited to 8bit in its colour palette in this mode, just like GIF was. So yes, you can lose tons of quality and colour. Thing is, IE6 is pretty much deprecated at this point anyways. Most new templates for things like Joomla, Drupal et al do not include full support for IE6 anymore. Now if only people would stop installing old versions of Windows XP, we'd all be better for it :) Thanks! Peace...

I took a fuzzy circle brush #5 and changed the opacity to 40. The first time I tried it, I clicked and dragged, stopped, and clicked again. That's when I got a different shade. But it didn't look like the example in the right image. Is the trick, to get the various shades, to click often and overlap? Along this line, I wanted to created a rectangle border w/rounded corners.

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.3.14 compile - dbus error
Yep, I hit that as well. I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) and I solved that problem by upgrading dbus to version 1.0.2. That allowed me to compile Gimp 2.3.14 but it basically broke several other parts of the Ubuntu distribution. HAL won't run. Nautilus won't run. Until Ubuntu catches up with the latest dbus release, I would sit tight and not chance introducing other issues in your system if you decide to upgrade dbus manually, as I did. At least I've got a working Gimp 2.3.14 to play with. :) Good luck! Peace... Tom Eric P wrote: Anybody have any dbus problems compiling 2.3.14? I get the following: ...snip...

Oh my God, let's not start this again. It's an acronym, get over it. Oh wait, Geoffrey says Get over it. Everybody with an opinion or actual relevent facts, forget it. Geoffrey said so. Well, he's got a valid point. I don't get why everyone is discussing the word Gimp from an English language standpoint when Gimp is an *acronym*, as I also pointed out earlier on in this discussion. For example, Sarasota County Area Transit is a name of a transit agency and its acronym is rather interesting. :) Peace...

Perhaps you might want to help him to bring the plug-in to a state where it does at least provide enough functionality to obsolete the exifbrowser plug-in? Ah, I wasn't aware of the metadata plug-in.

Here is the original image: http://www.bay-online-media.com/tom/gimp/bay-bridge1.jpg Here is the image after the auto level adjustment is performed: http://www.bay-online-media.com/tom/gimp/bay-bridge1b.jpg i actually enjoy playing with the levels tool and photographs, so i endulged myself: http://carol.gimp.org/files/bay-bridge1-levels.jpg Looks great! :) The original image was scaled to 1024x768 resolution at 72 dpi. The original photo was taken at 72 dpi. Is the resultant image correct? If so, why does it not look as good as the original? if you look at the different channels in the levels dialog, you can see what the Auto button did. it consistently moves the light side to where the color histogram starts for all three of the color channels. and it seems that the gray (center) triangle stays in the middle of the other two triangles. i have no idea if this works for a majority of photographs or not. i used the tool just on the Values Channel (which is not a real channel) and i like mine better than your original and also the auto adjusted image. to me, the only thing that was wrong with your photograph was that 'all over gray' haze that scanned photo prints would really get and digital photographs still seem to get somewhat. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Obviously, I didn't understand what the auto button did on the Levels dialog. I figured it would automatically adjust color levels to be correct, based on the photo being edited but clearly I was wrong. :) Now I have a better understanding of how to use that Levels dialog so I'll do more experimentation with it and other photos.

Of course, this makes it a suitable article for NewsForged, but without proof for the authors claims it is worthless. I don't dispute this, but I think a more fundamental issue has been raised in the article, which comes up time and time again on Gimp lists and in other Gimp criticism. That issue is: Gimp does not look or behave like PhotoShop. As a result, people think it's doomed to fail simply because it's not PhotoShop. If folks want to use Pixel, which emulates PhotoShop, by all means let them. What I didn't like about the article is the author equates PhotoShop look/feel with usability. Many Gimp users find Gimp *very* usable and functional given what it can do. Gimp's functionality is separate from its UI and I think it's wrong to judge Gimp's functionality based on its UI (which doesn't necessarily mean the UI is horrible even though many think it is). I mentioned before I once got into a Gimp UI debate with someone who slammed Gimp's UI but also felt PhotoShop's UI was just as bad. I think those who claim Gimp has a bad UI yet suggest adopting a PhotoShop UI are still missing the target. If the idea is to come up with a good UI for Gimp, that is where the focus should be instead of swapping one arguably bad UI with another arguably bad UI simply because it's well known.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimpshop
Paul Bloch wrote: To take an example that would also apply to Gimp, when showing us different methods she came across a tool that didn't allow you to preview the effect and she simply said,This is pretty useless, you can't see what you're doing. So there is a functional and productive criticism. Designing is a visual process obviously, if I can't see the effect, be it transforming or using a filter, it makes my job a whole lot harder and consumes more of my time via guessing, undoing, and reapplying the filter. It's like drawing with a blindfold. Anyway to make a long story slightly longer I think part of moving forward for Gimp would be to start to beta test with real professional designers, the ones who's work you admire. I think this is a great idea. Ideally, the pro designers would be able to focus on the usability of Gimp *outside* of the context of PhotoShop. That way, we could minimize bias based on familiarity. With all of the talk of wanting Gimp to look/feel like PhotoShop, there hasn't been much discussion of PhotoShop's UI being considered good. I had this kind of discussion with someone else who slammed the Gimp UI and much to my surprise he slammed the PhotoShop UI as being about as bad. :) I think the intent should be to strive for a solid UI that is intuitive, not necessarily to mimic one that is basically familiar and that's about it. I think that Gimp's market potential isn't as an adobe REPLACEMENT, not at this point anyway, it is more of a SUBSTITUTE (there is a difference). I think it would serve better as filling the niche for those people who don't actually own a legit copy of photoshop. If people discover they don't have to break the law because there is an adequate substitute that performs similarly to photoshop people will use Gimp in droves. And to add to that what Gimp can allow for is a program that can fully cater to the experience of a user. The thing is, Gimp serves that purpose today. I can't comment on the droves part. :) People don't have to break the law if they use Gimp. People don't use PhotoShop primarily because they like the UI, they use it for what it can do with digital images. People learn the PhotoShop UI so they can do interesting things with those images. People can do interesting things with digital images using Gimp, but they do those things in a different way. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think the main thing is to think creatively about who Gimp's audience actually is. This is a good point and one issue I see is those who are screaming for a PhotoShop interface feel THEY are Gimp's actual audience when I'm not even sure what Gimp's audience actually is. Peace...

Re: [Gimp-user] blue + yellow = green
Bram Kuijper wrote: Sure? Again, doesn't it say something about general usability of GIMP's GUI? A good GUI is characterized that it is 'understandable' by the great majority of users, inexperienced, experienced using other software platforms and experienced using GIMP. I work with GIMP daily and I try to convince other people that GIMP is a good choice. But I see also that all these users have larger difficulties to learn GIMP compared to other graphical software, because they have been already 'poisoned' with general Windows GUIs (eg., GUIs in which menu's are always within the program interface and not separate 'windows', a standard set of shortcut keys, file menu handlers that are different from the GTK ones). If GIMP developers just ignore that, it sounds to me as if they just deliberately confine their software to a particular (and small) group of people. That is a big pity, because I believe that the more people use GIMP, the better the program becomes and the bigger the chances are that such OSS software stays on and remains in development. (snip) Nope, I think he/she wants GIMP to be more usable for a wider range of users than it is now. It just happens that a large amount of users that think of switching to GIMP are PS users. Geez, how strange that people then propose improvements of the GIMP GUI that are inspired by PS's GUI? Are those wishes just totally ignored by people that claim to have a 'better' idea how software has to work? I disagree with you on these two points. A friend of mine fairly recently started using Gimp for her own photo manipulation (resizing and other basic functions). She's running Windows XP and Windows is *all* she knows (meaning she has no Mac or *nix experience whatsoever). I'm not sure if she had seen PhotoShop or not before but Gimp was her first hands-on experience with any tool of it's nature. She obviously didn't know what any of the tools or functions were simply because she had never used a tool like Gimp before. Given that, she's gotten her head wrapped around the tool such that she understands how to use some of the functions it performs and can manipulate her images mostly as she wants (she's still learning how to do things, as am I). The point being, she had definitely been poisoned by the general Windows UI and that wasn't a factor in her Gimp experience. Gimp looking exactly like PhotoShop or even MS Word didn't change the fact she had no idea what a layer was or what a crop tool was. This brings me to the second point. PS users wanting Gimp to look and affectively act like PS simply want Gimp to be a free PS, so they can use it legally without having to pay a boatload of money or without having to pirate a copy. PS users are very familiar with the PS UI (which is as overwhelming and user UN-friendly as people can argue Gimp is) and aren't willing or aren't capable of opening their minds to a different way of doing things. This is like a Windows user who complains about not being able to make Mac OS X or Linux behave just like Windows or the Windows user who can't differentiate between a word processor and Word (in this case, they think ALL word processors are Word and assume everyone with a computer has Word). I think those who focus their expertise on the functions being performed will have an easier time using ANY kind of PS-like app since it will be a matter of finding or learning how any given app performs those functions. Those who focus their expertise on learning the UI get programmed to the point of not having any chance of being productive if the UI they are used to isn't around. By virtue of the fact Gimp was chosen as the basis of Gimpshop, that proves Gimp is very functional and does work. The problem for PS users is they simply can't let go of the PS UI and Gimpshop was born. Now, I believe (could be mistaken) it's been the position of the Gimp developers that Gimp is not intended to be PhotoShop so why change the entire UI to look/act like PhotoShop? It's not like attracting 50,000 PhotoShop users will result in tremendous donations to the Gimp development effort or anything. Of course, it would make those PhotoShop users very happy since they get to almost have their cake and eat it too. :) I think a PhotoShop compatibility mode, that is integrated in Gimp, would be a good compromise. That way people still use Gimp first and foremost and can simply have it look like PS instead of trying to change Gimp into something it's not necessarily wanting or trying to be.

Re: [Gimp-user] One stupid thing
glib and gtk+ and other libs required by Gimp might be part of any current Linux distro but they might not be the right versions required by any given Gimp version. As for the XML::Parser perl module, perl installations that come with Linux distros will have some perl modules installed but not all. I think it's reasonable to require the system owner or the person who is building Gimp to make sure external libs and apps are configured per Gimp's requirements. In this case, that means the system owner is responsible for making sure perl is setup per Gimp's requirements unless Gimp is being built with perl support disabled (if that is an option). Peace...

A friend of mine took a bunch of photos using her Vivitar 3.2MP digital camera with the camera set at 640x480 resolution. She wanted 4x6 prints of those and printed a bunch that came out looking all pixelated and basically like crap. Since then, we've set her camera back to the max resolution since previous photos taken at this resolution printed fine as prints. My question: is there anyway to use Gimp to scale the 640x480 images so they look as best as possible (no pixelation if possible) as 4x6 prints? I've scaled the images to 4x6 and have increased pixels per inch and have run many filters with no real success. Or is my friend basically stuck with what she has? Thanks! Peace...

Cost is a factor, but is not the most important factor. Gimp is the only photo-editing program I use, but I don't have to use Gimp for printing. I could learn to use Scribus for printing, if that's recommended. Thanks for any help with this. Helen, using GIMP 2.2.9, SuSE 10 see my photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ettervor/ Gimp uses Gimp-Print for printing so if you see the list of supported printers at the Gimp-Print website (use Google to search for Gimp-Print to find the URL of the site), you can find a printer that suits your needs best. :) Good luck!

GIMP version 2.3.3, dubbed What The GIMP, is a preview on the upcoming GIMP 2.4. This release features the prototype of a new foreground selection tool that is being developed in cooperation with the department of Computer Science at the Freie Universität Berlin. The SIOX algorithm makes selection of foreground objects a lot easier. Instead of trying to trace the object boundary, the user now only has to specify the region of interest and some representative foreground pixels. SIOX (Simple Interactive Foreground eXtraction) does the rest, see http://www.siox.org/ More details can be found in the press release: http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.3.html The source code of GIMP 2.3.3 can be downloaded from the usual places: http://gimp.org/downloads#mirrors If you want to give it a try, please read the release notes for development releases: http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html Last, but not least, here's the detailed list of changes since GIMP 2.3.2: - improved new GimpPageSelector widget - minor improvements to the Procedure and Plug-In browsers - set alternative button order in some places that were missed earlier - added SIOX algorithm for foreground extraction - fixed most gcc 4.0 warnings - improved Cursor view and Sample Points functionality - prepared code and UI for more layer lock types - added new PDF import plug-in based on libpoppler - undeprecated and improved palette editor, added cursor navigation - show more information in the Image Properties dialog - added prototype of SIOX foreground selection tool - fixed build of MMX code on gcc 4.0 - moved procedure browser to libgimpwidgets as GimpProcBrowserDialog - canonicalize PDB procedure and parameter names - use the coefficients from the sRGB spec when calculating luminance - allow to remove alpha channel from a layer - added more different cursors for the paths tool - bug fixes and code cleanup Happy GIMPing, Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Alan Horkan wrote: [please trim the subject line in your responses] Ok. :) I think most users are frustrated by the gimp and less frustrated by photoshop and the easiest way for them to express that is to make simple comparisons rather than being able to suggest better ways to do things. Yeah, this makes sense. :) What can the GNU Image Manipulation Program do that Adobe Photoshop cannot do? Please do tell. I have recently pointed out that the gimp allows you to have files with multiple layers in Indexed Mode and photoshop does not. I would like to be able to expand on this list of things I know the gimp can do better. I would very sincerely be interested to know other things you can do with the GNU Image manipulation program that cannot be done with other software, particuarly things that cannot be done in Adobe Photoshop. Some have already posted some features Gimp has PhotoShop doesn't and/or things Gimp does PhotoShop can't do or can't do as well. I haven't spent a lot of time using PhotoShop and I installed a trial version of PhotoShop Elements to check it out. I don't know how elements differs from the full-blown version of PhotoShop. Here are some things I found I couldn't do with PhotoShop Elements and I'm sure someone will correct me if they are possible with the full-blown PhotoShop: *) Take screenshots. I often take screenshots of Gimp or other apps, if not the desktop. The cool thing about doing it *within* the graphics app is I can immediately scale, resize, or otherwise manipulate the image without having to use one app to take the screenshot and another to do the manipulation. *) Have a finer granularity of control over sharpening images. With PS Elements, I could keep clicking the sharpen more menu option to sharpen the image I had loaded. With Gimp, I can dial-in the precise amount of sharpening I want using the sharpen filter. I didn't think to compare the number or types of sharpening filters that came with Gimp vs PS Elements. *) The ability to perform manipulations on multiple images at once. I was running an effects filter on a rather large image while I had 3 or 4 other images loaded. I'm running on a Pentium II 350MHz machine w/ 256MB of RAM and given my application mix, I had at least double that (if not more) allocated, meaning I was definitely using swap. I'm running on Linux. This one filter was taking its time to run, given the size of the image, and I was able to start other filters and work on the other images while that first filter was running. I was also scanning images while running the filter, etc. I don't know what kind of simultaneous multi-image processing capabilities PS has. I didn't think to try this with PS Elements, unfortunately. Those are three things I have personal experience with, at least with Gimp. :) Peace...

David Marrs wrote: Easier for whom? the users or the developers? Since there's only one GIMP set-up anyway, I don't see how it makes a difference; any suggestion I make is going to be a direct result of the default GIMP set-up that I'm using. I'm not biased by Photoshop, PSP or anything else, I'm just acutely aware of the user interface's short comings and I'm trying to address them. Making GIMP newbies (which I'm not, btw) learn the interface until they get used to it only means that they'll get used to the GIMP's short comings, not that they'll go away. It's just the same as how Windows users put up with their interface, all the time forgetting how restrictive it is. When it's all you can see, it becomes normal. It's only after you come back to Windows after spending months away, using a different OS like Linux+Gnome, that you suddenly realise how poor Windows actually is. If Microsoft were trying to get users to migrate from GNU/Linux to Windows, they'd be out of business in weeks. So I think you unwittingly hit the nail on the head with regard to the GIMP's problem: it insists that its users conform to its way of doing things instead of being malleable so that different users with different approaches can tailor it to suit their needs. Its approach obviously works for you, which is why you're happy with it. Just try to remember that your way isn't necessarily the *right* way. I agree 100% with this, very well stated. I think PhotoShop users suffer from this as well as they don't realize the PhotoShop way isn't necessarily the *right* way. Great post! Peace...

People use Gimp (or try to) and have a problem or criticism and post their feedback here instead of filing bug/enhancement reports or looking to see what is already documented in Bugzilla, etc. Maybe there are GIMP users who would love everyone to drop Photoshop (or whatever) and use GIMP. You know, I'm not sure this is really the case. At least not based on discussion I've seen on this mailing list. I think a lot of frustration stems from people slamming Gimp for simply not looking, feeling, behaving, or tasting exactly like PhotoShop. It's almost like if it's not PhotoShop, it's crap. The focus tends to be on what PhotoShop does that Gimp doesn't do and almost no mention is made of the things Gimp can do that PhotoShop can't. If so, they will have to deal with more of this. I think constructive criticism on Gimp's UI, usability, features or missing features is what is desired much more than the Gimp sucks cuz it can't do this obscure thing PhotoShop can kinds of comments. Not everyone can spend the time to search something out, or in fact they don't care, they would rather voice it out right away. Yep, you're right on the money here. I think the bulk of the new Gimp users don't even think to look at Bugzilla or maybe even the mailing list archives before posting their comments since they are frustrated or focused on what they are trying to do with Gimp and simply post questions or comments to get immediate help. I know I tend to do the same from time to time but I try to search the mailing list archives before posting a question to see if it has already been discussed. Peace...

I'm not a PhotoShop user so please excuse the question but how does your example *not* change the setup of the layer structure?

The more Gimp looks and feels like PhotoShop, the more people will think of it like PhotoShop and then come the change requests to have Gimp behave more in a PhotoShop-ish manner. When you use the phrase migrate from PhotoShop, I interpret that to mean utilize tools or information to help ease the transition from the old to the new, which is something I don't think will happen with GimpShop. If you go back and read some of the commentary in the blog, people are indirectly associating a good UI with a PhotoShop UI.

Alternativ for Text is the the title of this area in the screenshot. The Typsnitt field in the screenshot is for choosing the desired font. In English, that would read Font. The Storlek field in the screenshot is for choosing the desired font size. In English, that would read Size. The Farg field in the screenshot is for choosing the desired font color. In English, that would read Color. And so on SO, when if you see the text tool settings tab/dialog appear similar to the screenshot above when you choose the text tool, then you should be able to do everything you want there. I've changed my Gimp installation to have the options tabs for the tools appear in the same dialog as the layers tab, which is in a separate dialog. Peace...

[Gimp-user] Question about settings colors with the Text Tool in gimp 2.0.4
I'm running Gimp 2.0.4 on Linux and I've got an image with some colored text loaded and I want to create a new image with different text with the same color. So, here is what I do: 1. Load the image with the colored text 2. Use the color chooser tool to choose the color of the text 3. Create a new image with black background 4. Choose the text tool At this point, the color I chose using the color chooser tool has changed to black. 5. I repeat step #2 above 6. I repeat step #4 above Now, I'm stuck in a manual loop. :) So, I figured once I choose the color of the text using the color chooser, I can double click the box with the current foreground color to open the Change Foreground Color box and leave it open. Then I choose the text tool and drag the color from the Change Foreground Color dialog to the color box in the text tool and now I can create the new text with the desired color. Is there an easier way of doing this? Thanks in advance! Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Making an image with a white background transparent?
I was able to make the white background transparent following this procedure using Gimp 2.0.1 on Linux. This procedure should be platform independent and possibly release independent: 1) Open the image 2) On the Layers dialog, create a new transparent layer 3) Click on the Background layer so the original image is selected 4) Use the Select By Color tool to select the white (Right click on the image, click on Select then on By color and choose the white background with the mouse pointer) 5) Right click on the image and click Select then Grow and grow the selection by 1 pixel 6) Invert the selection by right-clicking on the image and Select then Invert 7) Then copy the selection by right clicking on the image then Edit then Copy 8)On the layers dialog, select the transparent layer so it is the currrent/active layer 9) Right click on the image and click Edit then Paste 10) Click the Anchor button on the layers dialog to anchor the image you just pasted 11) Click the eye icon to the left of the original image layer with the Background name and the white background should disappear This process can be simplified using layer masks: 1) Open the image 2) On the Layers dialog, right click on the Background layer and click Add Alpha Channel 3) Right click on the image and click Select then By color 4) Right click on the image and click Select then Grow and grow the selection by 1 pixel 5) Choose the white background with the mouse pointer 6) On the Layers dialog, right-click on the Background layer and click Add Layer Mask Select the White (Full Opacity) mask option 7) Right click on the image and click Edit Fill with FG color and the white background should disappear 8) On the Layers dialog, right click on the Background layer and click Apply Layer Mask 9) At this point, you must decide if you want to save as GIF or PNG since JPEG does not support transparency and save the image. Be sure to use Save As to save the image so you won't clobber the orignal. I'm sure others can fine tune this procedure as well but I just did it and the image does have a transparent background. Hope this helps! :) Peace Tom dreadnought wrote: Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply!

Color to alpha removes the selected color from all the colors in the image in such a way that when you put the image above a background of that color you will get your original image.

Re: [Gimp-user] Web background
Depending on the JPEG quality threshold you specify, you might not see any change in the image itself even though the file size WILL be smaller. This is a GOOD thing to me. :) Crank the image quality down to 10% and see if you see any quality degredation. :) If you're specify quality in the 80 - 100% range, you might not readily see any differences in image quality unless you look very carefully.

[Gimp-user] Help needed stroking an eliptical selection
Hi! I'm trying to make an elliptical border around part of an image, sort of like a picture frame. I use the Select Elliptical Regions tool to select my region. Then I choose the color I want for the selection and I choose a 5x5 solid circle brush to use for the stroke of the selection. Then I right-click on the image and click Edit... Stroke Selection and my frame appears around the image. Cool. I noticed there are some jagged edges along parts of the frame and I would like to know if there's a way they can be eliminated. Here is a screenshot illustrating what I've got thus far: http://www.pixhost.com/pixt/tomdkat/stroke.jpg The top and bottom of the frame look great but the sides have the jagged edges. Is there any way I can eliminate the jagged edges? Once I have the frame, my plan is to add a bevel to it to give it more of a real frame look. :) Here is a sample of the above image with a 5-thickness setting Script-Fu bevel: http://www.pixhost.com/pixt/tomdkat/stroke-bevel.jpg* *I've found the higher the bevel thickness, the more pronounced the jagged edges are. :( I'm using Gimp 2.0 on Linux.

Don't use the paintbrush to stroke the selection, but use the Stroke options in the upper part of the Stroke dialog. Well, unfortunately this doesn't help much. The better way to fix this is to convert the selection boundary to a path and stroke the path. I tried hacking the boundary stroking to get a better stroking, but my experiments turned out to lead to unexpected results. A discussion of this is in bug #50730. Bye, Simon Thanks for the tip!

Re: [Gimp-user] Where does 2.0 find its fonts?
John Culleton wrote: I only got to play with rc1 for less than a day and along comes 2.0.0 the real thing. I did useful work already with 2.0.0rc1 But I had trouble configuring extra fonts. The usual drill is to install e.g., freefont according to the directions in the file, including a couple of fp runs. This pus the freefont collection out where xfontsel can see them but Gimp doesn't see them at all. The real 2.0.0 is compiling as I write. So what is the scoop on installing additional fonts in Gimp like the freefont and sharefont collections? I've got over 1000 Windows TrueType fonts configured in XFree86 4.4.0 on Linux that Gimp 2.0 can access just fine. I followed the process of installing fonts in X, documented here: http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/fonts2.html#9 First, I followed the steps in section 2.2.2 and then I ran fc-cache, as mentioned in sextion 2.1.1: http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/fonts2.html#4 I forget if I needed to restart X or not but all of my fonts are accessible using the new text tool just fine. The Windows TTFs I have installed I downloaded from http://www.1001freefonts.com/ I don't know if you're looking for TTF support like I'm using or support for other fonts. If you're running XFree86 4.3.0 or later, the above info should be all you need (read through all the font docs) to make the fonts accessible to Gimp. Good luck... :) Peace...
