Hi! I'm still working on my gimp-perl script for translating Blackbox themes to fvwm2 themes, and it's almost done. One more thing I need to do, is to find the pixel size of a given font name. There are several forms that can be used eg: -*-fixed-bold-r-*-*-* etc.... or: lucidasans-10 or some other types. So what I need to do, is to find out how high the letters will become on the screen, in pixels. Is there some function in gimp that will give this information? I tried gimp_text_get_extents_fontname, but there, you have to give the fontname AND the number of pixels in addition to the fontname, which I don't understand. How does this work? All help is welcome regards, Jos. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
