RE: Fonts in Script-FU Dialogs
Thanks for your lead. I have located a Helix RPM of Gimp-1-1-24 and successfully installed it. Do you happen to know if I also need to install (whether by RPM or make) the associated gimp-data file, or is it already a part of Gimp-1-1-24 ? I have been a bit offline latelly (exams and work), so me last Helix has 1.1.22, and I used it too few. IIRC they do not provide too many things, so you could give a try to that file. Install under /usr/local/ so you do not kill anyhting based in RPM, and use the Preferences dialog to point Gimp to the correct data dirs. GSR
RE: Fonts in Script-FU Dialogs
Hi Guillermo, I have gone to the FTP site at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.1/v1.1.24/, and the following files are listed : gimp-1.1.24.tar.bz2 gimp-1.1.24.tar.gz gimp-data-extras-1.1.20.tar.bz2 gimp-data-extras-1.1.20.tar.gz patch-1.1.23-1.1.24.bz2 patch-1.1.23-1.1.24.gz README Firstly, am I going down the right track by looking here ? Secondly, what do I do with these files once I download them -- some of these files are large, so I am not going to download them yet until I know for sure these are what I want. Thirdly, as I am a newbie, could I ask for a bit of hand-holding as to what I do once I have downloaded them ? I know that I need to gunzip and tar -xvf these files, but once I have done this, I am getting into unfamiliar territory when it comes to compiling them. I've already tried to compile some downloaded GIMP plug-ins, and fell flat on my face. or is it possible to get a pre-compiled package for the developers' edition of GIMP (e.g. RPMs...) ?? Thanks in advance for your help. regards, Andrew -Original Message- From: Guillermo S.

The version of the GIMP that I have is 1.04. You answered your own question: 1.0.4. Get a 1.1.x and try again, nice widgets for script-fu dialogs (and a lot more of things). GSR

[...] Firstly, am I going down the right track by looking here ? Yes, if you know how to compile after getting the files. Secondly, what do I do with these files once I download them -- some of these files are large, so I am not going to download them yet until I know for sure these are what I want. Get the bz2 better (smaller, but same contents), the basic is 1.1.24. If you have 1.1.23, you can get the patch file instead. If you do not have lots of brushes, textures and similar things, get the extra too. Thirdly, as I am a newbie, could I ask for a bit of hand-holding as to what I do once I have downloaded them ? I know that I need to gunzip and tar -xvf these files, but once I have done this, I am getting into unfamiliar territory when it comes to compiling them. I've already tried to compile some downloaded GIMP plug-ins, and fell flat on my face. Oh oh. For the bz2 you have to use bunzip2, then tar (or single command tar with special params, read the man page... btw it also works with gz, add -z). The process is explained in a file that comes, readme or install, I can not remember exactly. Normally ./configure --things-I-want, make, make install. You can give it a try, but as I newbie I dunno if you will like it. or is it possible to get a pre-compiled package for the developers' edition of GIMP (e.g. RPMs...) ?? Of course, Helix GNOME provides RPM of it, even 1.1.24 as some pointed out. GSR
