some wierd font problems
Basically what happens is this. I have an image I've captured somewhere else (ie: screenshot in windows) and try to put text on top of it. The text goes in fine but is 100x the size it should be. I have had to set the font size to arial 8pt just to get something that is *close* to what 20pt should be. Then (as I found today) by just copying and pasting the image into a new canvass the problems go away. I don't know if this is the gimp (1.1.16 compiled today, but this has been doing this on and off in the previous couple of versions), xfstt (1.1), the font (standard arial true type), or what... It's hard to explain. Head to http://arcterex.ufies.org/gimpfont for screenshots and hopefully a more coherant explanation :) The original image is up there (bottom of the page), so hopefully someone else will find the same problem.

Re: some wierd font problems
Hi Alan, Resolusion difference between your jpeg screen shot and "new" image caused your experience. Your image was saved with 300dpi. But when you start with "new", the resolusion may be 72dpi by default. In the text font dialog, the text is rendered with 100dpi or 72 dpi. Anyway, the text is rendered in 14pt with the resolution of image. So pixel size was different as you seen. regard, -- SHIRASAKI Yasuhiro : Experimental Particle Physics, JLC Team Graduate School of Science, TOHOKU University 980-8578 Japan.

Both don't work correctly, as I stated before. Do you read my mails? The Bezier Select Tool behaves very strange: Points appear automatically here and there and sometimes I can't change a curve. I don't know how this can be reproduced as I can't trigger this bugs always... :/ It has the problem of being very sensitive to pointer accuracy :( Other than that it works very well, but the bezier tool is perhaps one of the most complex tools in a image manipulation program. It is also one of the most powerful ones, thus taking some time to learn. But the point in the path tool is that it was intended as a replacement _gui_ for the bezier tool, making the _gui_ more usable. Like it has been mentioned before, it is work in progress and thus doesnt do anything useful yet. There is no problem in deciding which one to keep, once it works and is debugged, the current bezier tool shall die and the path tool shall take its place in the glory. Even a gimp-beginner can find this out in minute or so. A beginner will most probably not use this tool for making selection because it'll give strange results if you don't know how it works... No, this aren't just my thoughts. I demonstrated the GIMP to quite a lot of people who are using it now and tell me those things. I have made a tutorial on this, which you might find helpful (at least a lot of people have told me it helped them) http://tigert.gimp.org/gimp/tutorials/ It is just a complex tool, and requires quite a bit of practice. The path tool plays a major role in photoshop books and courses too. Tuomas -- .---( t i g e r t @ g i m p . o r g )---. | some stuff at http://tigert.gimp.org/ | `---'

Carl B. Constantine ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Is there any way to "unflatten" or unmerge layers in the Gimp? Here's why. I used a Script-Fu script to generate a 3D Text logo for my wife. It looks very cool. However, the final image only has a single layer and the background is all white. This means I can't change the background at all no matter what I've tried. I've tried duplicating the layer and modifying one layer. I've just tried selecting all the white area - but this doesn't work well due how the text turned out, etc. but I want to use a different background for this image. It would be nice if the script-fu scripts kept the layers in tact so that users could do some more manipulation ofter-the-fact to fine tune the image a bit. To unmerge the layers would involve significant magic, since this infomation is lost when flattening the images... You can try to eliminate the call to (gimp-flatten-image foo) in the script. Hopefully this is the last step in the script. Then the layers will be preserved. HTH, Simon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/
