So the cursor problem is still not fixed? It would be worthwhile to investigate where this problem is located.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP on Mac
I use gimp-2.3 from the development build under fink or ports (i forget which one). It has all the features you want. the only problem I *hate* is that the X11 will not take control of Gimp when I click on it once...i have to click twice to activate a tool...very annoying.

I haven't seen the yellow cursor for quite a while, but thought that it disappeared after I changed GIMPs cursor preferences. Lets see.. ... oh, OK - the cursor preferences are _not_ set to black and white bitmap any more and the cursors are displayed correctly. So this means the problem is gone after all. (Tried with GIMP 2.3.16) And yes, there have been some X11.app updates from Apple in the last 6 months or so. Greetings, lexA Sven --- Remember: There are only two tools in life.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp for Mac OS X won't open
Hi, Could you please try to start gimp from a terminal window? You might get output that could help to debug the problem. open gimp.app got no output, which I understand is good news, and after about two minutes, the program actually opened. However, the font problem is back, even though GBwhateveritwasBitmap font has supposedly been deleted from my computer. I did use search engines for freetype and fontconfig and, as I'm no programmer, couldn't understand how to update them, or even how to find out where/if they were on my computer. My programming ability is limited to cd and ls in Terminal, if that gives you any idea of what skill level you're dealing with.

Since this topic was brought up last, Yosh added a POSIX shared memory implementation that is used on Darwin. Recently GIMP-2.0pre packages appeared for fink (http://mirror.student.iastate.edu/) and today I've been told that GIMP-2.0pre2 has found its way into darwinports (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/). What I heard so far these packages work flawlessly and this means that we can say that MacOS X is a fully supported platform for GIMP-2.0. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen. Great news! Some people approached me when I did the FOSDEM GIMP talk on OSX and were very interested in running GIMP on their MacOS. I hope GIMP2 will make a big splash among MacOS users. cheers -- Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
