In OO print to a file (postscript or pdf), then open it in GIMP.

[Gimp-user] getting text into a gimp photo?

2010-03-07 Thread Helen
I have a document in OO (a poem), and I'd like to get it into a gimp
picture.

I can't think of any way to do that.  I can take a screen shot but the
document
is longer than will fit on a screen (it's about a screen and a half) and I
want it to
look like it's part of the picture (background is the picture of an open,
blank book).

I could retype it into a Gimp layer, but, aside from the time involved, Gimp
doesn't have the typeface I want.

Any other ways I might get this text to look as though it's a page in a
book?
