Not to my knowledge. If your ultimate goal is to fit text within a certain area -- for example sizing a label to fit on a button -- then you might find the following function useful for determining your font size. It's not pretty (but it works). The fontsize% argument is a percentage value that allows you to effectively specify a "padding" around the text. For example, 100% means determine the largest fontsize possible such that the text will fit within the boundaries. Note that most fonts already include some padding around the characters (so you might find a value larger than 100 desirable). Example: (set! fontsize (calc-fontsize "Hello" "Sans" 80 60 20)) (define (calc-fontsize text font fontsize% width height) (let* ( (fontsize 6) ;; minimum possible fontsize (extents nil) (last-extents nil) (last-fontsize 3) (adjust 2) ) (set! extents (gimp-text-get-extents-fontname text fontsize PIXELS font)) (set! width (* width fontsize% 0.01)) (set! height (* height fontsize% 0.01)) (while (and (<> last-fontsize fontsize) (not (equal? extents last-extents))) (if (or (> (car extents) width) (> (cadr extents) height)) (begin (set! fontsize last-fontsize) (set! adjust (+ (* (- adjust 1) 0.5) 1)) ) (begin (set! last-extents extents) (set! last-fontsize fontsize) ) ) (set! fontsize (truncate (* fontsize adjust))) (set! extents (gimp-text-get-extents-fontname text fontsize PIXELS font)) ) (max fontsize 6) ) ) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Normally you can just select existing text with the text tool, which allows you to change the size. That's assuming that the text is still in its original state--a separate text layer. If you have merged it into another layer or applied transformations to it (e.g. scaling, rotation, etc.) then it has been converted to a graphical object, and you can no longer perform text operations on it.
