 want a specific behavior on your webpage (ie. you don't want to use a

Of course, pixels are totally the wrong way to use as units: They might save
your layout (if it is bad enough to need it), but they will of course be very
small on some systems (e.g. mine) and very large on others.

Definitely not the solution to the problem of too small fonts!!

(And as I mentioned pribately before, IE5 at least displays fonts given in
absolute units larger than it should, e.g. 9pt fonts (3.1mm) get displayed at
least with 4mm, giving nice pages under windows, but...)

 I dunno.. I looked at the page in netscape and it looked very good to me.
 Lenka.

same for me (linux, "old" netscape 4.7)

i think this discussion will never find to an end, cause unfortunatly
there is no perfect solution for each browser and by far not for each
user.

but i would be glad if anybody on this list could enlighten me and give
me a way to create text content wich shows up the same size in all
browsers.

i'm not a person demanding "standards", but i think in this case i would
love it.

regards

Hi,

 i think this discussion will never find to an end, cause unfortunatly
 there is no perfect solution for each browser and by far not for each
 user.
 
 but i would be glad if anybody on this list could enlighten me and give
 me a way to create text content wich shows up the same size in all
 browsers.
Use style sheets/tags. Specify font sizes in points. Provide text-only
pages with the same content where applicable.

 i'm not a person demanding "standards", but i think in this case i would
 love it.
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from
;). As with all other internet standards, MS will come up with its own
derivation (which is *almost* compatible). This will happen (has already
happened?) with style sheets, no doubt.

My favourite browser is lynx, btw. Except for the gimp pages, of course...
Cheers,

some questions

2000-08-03 Thread Axel R.

Hi all,
I don't speak very good english so, I'll try to write the less as possible ;-) 
I've got some questions about gimp. 
*) How keep the toolbar on the top of the desktop (with Ph0t0sh0p I always have 
it on the top)
*) How to do a bitmap trame (like http://axel584.free.fr/index6.shtml) (with 
Ph0t0sh0p it in the image/mode menu)
*) Where can I found script/plug-in like eye candy (but free and under gimp of 
course ;-) ...) (Eye-candy make 3D effects on the selection shape)
*) Can we use a vector editor with gimp ? (like illustrat0r and Ph0t0sh0p who 
work together...)
*) Do exist a soft/plug-in to help the creation of the script ? (like in 
Ph0t0sh0p where we can record some actions and play them again)

Thank's for all

Axel R.

It seems you also have problems with product names. ;]

 I've got some questions about gimp. 
 *) How keep the toolbar on the top of the desktop (with Ph0t0sh0p I always have 
 it on the top)

I suppose you mean the window with the buttons and the color
selector. That is a window manager task (supposing you use a X
version), check your wm documentation for always on top settings.

 *) How to do a bitmap trame (like http://axel584.free.fr/index6.shtml) (with 
 Ph0t0sh0p it in the image/mode menu)

If you mean the printer effect, MB3 - Filters - Distorts -
Newsprint. I think I saw a tutorial about what parameters to get that
effect, but can not remember where.

 *) Where can I found script/plug-in like eye candy (but free and under gimp of 
 course ;-) ...) (Eye-candy make 3D effects on the selection shape)

Under script-fu menu maybe. Or if not, code your own scripts. All
those 3D effects are just combinations of bump map, displaces and
similar things. Gimp is a Do It Yourself tool (plugin, script or hand
made) while PS is more "pay me for a script" oriented.

Can you put a webpage with the one small image of each effect?

 *) Can we use a vector editor with gimp ? (like illustrat0r and Ph0t0sh0p who
 work together...)

If you can save as image (pixels) and trace shapes with the vector
one, of course. Gimp can also read some vector formats, like PS / EPS
(it renders to pixels to import).

 *) Do exist a soft/plug-in to help the creation of the script ? (like in 
 Ph0t0sh0p where we can record some actions and play them again)

Nope yet. Or maybe, it is called text editor with help for the
languaje you choose (scheme, perl or python). ;]
