Hi Alex. Can't say I blame you there. I don't know the terms. I've attached
another image and a bit of additional text. I'm grateful!

Fuzzy select the background? Wrong tool to use for the type of image you posted.
You would use that with a plain

There is also Font Manager and Fonty Python in Linux.
Just a reminder, it is possible to generate an image of all the
installed fonts.
IIRC, you can do that via a feature in Scribus.

If you want to get it as exacting as possible, I'd recommend using the path
tool, then locking the alpha channel and cloning the edges. I did your book
from the first image real quick and made a 4 min video. I can explain more if
this is what you're after.
I didn't compress the video so

the arrow key to very quickly audition fonts. - great tip!

I just tried a bunch of different fonts using the arrow key to quickly scroll.
When I do this the orange selection tint covers the text, yet I can still get a

When I open the PDFs in GIMP, the pictures have bad enough clarity that I cannot

the pictures so that the
