Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 1.2.3-pre2 and fonts question
i wonder if Filters -Render -Dynamic Text or if you were to install the gimp-freetype plug-in (found at http://freetype.gimp.org -- be sure to get the tar ball and not the cvs branch!!) if these two methods of rendering fonts might work better from a remote machine. text tool sucks, imo. it hints by rendering the font 3 times bigger than requested and reducing the size. personally, i haven't hit the button with the big T on it for a couple of years by now ... good luck also, interesting way to play with gimp carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 1.2.3-pre2 and fonts question
Tom - For things like lifting a person from a jpeg and putting s/he/it somewhere else, there's a good series of tutorials in Grokking The GIMP, available online and for html download. Follow the links from the GIMP's Xtns/Web Browser menu to get it. There's some really good ideas on using layers, channels, and a variety of ways to separate the figure from the ground that will be of inestimable value. Good luck, good GIMPing! -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
