Unfortunately, Michael hasn't yet found the time to implement the
changes he had planned to address this. Would be nice if someone got
on board to fix this.

Re: [Gimp-user] ai files in gimp

2015-12-04 Thread Alex Vergara Gil
Dear Liam
Thats exactly my problem, fonts are not converted properly, even when
the same font is installed in my system, it just puts the rendered
text without transparency overlapping the enclosure, also enclosures
are rendered wrongly (smaller than should be). It seems a conversion
problem, but I know going from vector to bitmap is not
straightforward. Thats the main reason why i wanted GIMP to handle
vector layers, with a final preview and some control from users side
about the final conversion.
Regards
Alex

Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.9.2 released

2015-12-04 Thread C R
Been using 2.9.3 in production all week. Let me first say that I am truly
astounded at the plethora of extra features that have been added, many many
of which will become staples in my workflow from now on. Everyone deserves
high praise for this release, it's been rock solid so far.

It seems the mesh transform tool is still freezing up GIMP (every time),
but apart from that, nothing has crashed, and it's like early x-mas times a
thousand to see all the features implemented and usable. So thanks again!

Sorry, that should be "cage transform" tool. That's the one that freezes
when the you draw the complete cage.

[Gimp-user] Script Dialog Boxes Not On Top

That's disappointing, I prefer working in Single Window mode and that was a
workaround I could live with.

Unfortunately now, the bug even occurs when I'm not in Single Window mode. Looks
like I was fooling myself too.  Like you discovered, Script-Fu boxes only open
properly if a previous Script-Fu box was cancelled,  Single Window or not.  :(

Steve:

That did it!  I had no idea that you had to set the clone-from layer when
placing the clone point.  I always assumed that whatever was visible was
what would be cloned so long as the layer boundary covered that cloned
region.  Understanding this will probably clear up a number of other issue
that have perplexed me for years.  Thank you very much for you patience and
help.

Liam:

This is another fantastic trick.  In my case the text was set on a totally
black background so I made the text white and then set the pattern layer to
Darken only and it worked perfectly!

Thanks to both you and Steve for teaching me something new and useful.

All the best,
