I've tested gDynText with my Linux box, recently upgraded to RH 6.2, and it still works! ;) Have you tried in changing the text rendering font?

Hi all, I've just commited a patch which makes GDynText behave like a plugin should. Rendering text layers and i18n now work as expected. bye, --Mitch

Maybe this is the same sort of error acrobat > reader 4.05 has to fight with (cannot open most embedded font when run with > locale other than "C"). I have just confirmed, and fixed (well sent off a patch) a bug in Xsane, an external Gimp plug-in, which has this same problem. It is ESSENTIAL when communicating across the Gimp wire, that a plug-in operates in LC_NUMERIC == "C", I do not think it is wise to change this assumption during the last leg to 1.2.0 and almost ALL existing plug-ins accept this behaviour by (a) Using the normal gimp_main() stuff provided by gimp.h, which magically calls setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C"); for itself anyway. and (b) Not manually fiddling with their locale settings If GDyntext doesn't use gimp_main() stuff, or does fiddle with its own locale settings (either generally or LC_NUMERIC in particular) then it needs to be altered to provide working i18n, I suggest removing any private setlocale() stuff or otherwise altering GDyntext not to alter the LC_NUMERIC settings from their defaults. For Gimp 1.3 we might re-think the wire protocol to avoid this mess? Nick.

The locales are straight from glibc-2.1.2. localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de The definition of LC_NUMERIC: decimal_point "" thousands_sep "" grouping 3;0 Good news if this is no gimp bug, but it falls on gimp if gimp isn't able to work with this special (mis)configuration. I will go into it -- and I am glad to hear from you ;-) I have done some tests with gimp-1.1.19 and gdyntext-1.4.4 (-DDEBUG) LANG=de gimp-1.1 --- Loading font: -*-agate-bold-r-normal-*-50-*-*-*-*-*-*-* [...] GDT: space width = 2 GDT: 16x 5 A: 4 D: 1 [Test] GDT: MH:5 LH:4 --- LC_NUMERIC=C gimp-1.1 --- Loading font: -*-agate-bold-r-normal-*-50-*-*-*-*-*-*-* [...] GDT: space width = 18 GDT: 87x 50 A: 38 D: 12 [test] GDT: MH:50 LH:32 --- Then I tried to give the same command that gdyntext uses in the script-fu console with LANG=de: (gimp-text-get-extents "A A" 50 PIXELS "*" "agate" "bold" "r" "normal" "*" "*" "*") (100 50 38 12) (gimp-text-get-extents "AA" 50 PIXELS "*" "agate" "bold" "r" "normal" "*" "*" "*") (82 50 38 12) As you can see the result is correct (100 - 82 = 18) Debugging with ddd (gdb-4.18) shows that all parameter are correct. Where in gdyntext.c or in gimp_run_procedure() is a function that uses the LC_NUMERIC locale setting -- that is not used by scrip-fu???

I have no problems with GDynText on this debian (potato) system running gimp under whatever locale I like. Salut, Sven

GDynText is totally broken when used under any locale, because it seems to do bad thing to the X font spec's "encoding" field.

It is a misconfiguration on your part. I'm running gimp 1.1.19 from debian and GDynText appears to be working fine. I typed text and it appeared in a new layer. http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/graphics/gimp1.1.html Christopher

We are two at minimum discovering this behaviour and if it's a misconfiguration it has to be described somewhere. Because there was a suggestion that xfree86-3.3.5 can be the reason, I upgraded to 3.3.6 but nothing changes. The new text layer is a small rectangle in the upper left corner ... For testing I have also removed my ~/.gimp-1.1 (nice startup wizard!) but no effect ...

A friend of mine have installed the RedHat 6.2 from scratch and compiled gimp 1.1.19 and the gdyntext doesnt work :( I have also took look at the sources and seems to work fine... maybe the Xfree?

BUG: gdyntext is dead
Hello, since 1.1.17 (maybe before and maybe the gimp version is unrelated to the problem) the gdyntext-plugin produces no result. Oh it produces a new but just too small layer with the necessary parasites -- but the text isn't visible. I have tested: o gimp-1.0.4 with gdyntext-1.4.1 that goes well in the past so this looks like some changes in the environment o gimp-1.1.1[789] with the packaged gdyntext and the actual gdyntext 1.4.4 dircet from the authors website o disable the ttf-fontserver (xfsft-1.1.6) xset -fp tcp/localhost:7100 xset fp rehash o running gdyntext with "-DDEBUG" enabled gives GDT: space width = 2 GDT: 34x 5 A: 4 D: 1 [Hallo Welt!] GDT: MH:5 LH:4 My system: linux-2.2.1[14] xfree86-3.3.5 glibc-2.1.2 gcc-2.95.[12] xfsft-1.1.6 only for ttf -- x-fonts and typ1 through the X-Server gtk+-1.2.7 The (script-fu gimp_text_get_extends ...) given on the console shows a resonable behaviour.
