Re: [gimp] [Gimp-user] adding fonts to the gimp

I'm using GIMP version 2.0.4 and the fonts that I want to add were originally MAC fonts. They were converted to .afm and .pfa. These fonts show up when I use an application like OpenOffice but they do not appear in my font list in the GIMP. Is there anything special I need to do to add these fonts to the gimp?

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker
Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My main worry is that someone out there has introduced a filepicker I can't use. See mail subject. My workflow is seriously hampered by it. It shows no folder icons. I can't type filenames in it. The two applications I use the most; Mozilla (Gtk2) and Gimp, are now using a filepicker I can't use. THAT is a major problem. Probably to more than me. That could have been fixed as easily if only you would have asked nicely. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] [OT] Some other app (was: gimp in one window)
Hi, Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This only works for sufficiently configurable window managers. Not all windows managers are sufficiently configurable. Which is why applications should be configurable to disable such hinting. That is a redundant statement since, as we all know, the hints are optional. I wonder what point you are trying to make. At the moment the hints are not even enabled by default but I would actually like to reconsider the defaults for 2.2. It would be nice to get some feedback whether people are using the (toolbox-window-hint utility) and/or (dock-window-hint utility) preferences and how well they work or not work for them.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker
Hi, This is mostly a binch of tips (and a disclaimer - I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, so these may be duplicates)... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried to build 2.1.4 and kind of succeeded, but it couldn't open files. I could barely start it, actually. THere was dozens of error messages during startup from the local dir about libgimpwidgets-2.0-104 couldn't be located. You may have tried to install the GIMP 2.1 into the same directory as the old GIMP, and this does not work. It's documented in the README file, which you read, of course. ;) I don't know how those errors manifest themselves, and I would have expected something more subtle than this, but however... And even with a full install that's right: It's not on disk. Nor did the installation routine relink gimp to the new binary. This is normal - since 2.1.x is a development series, we assume that you will be doing day-to-day work with 2.0.x, and we leave the gimp linking to gimp-2.0. I finally gave up and deleted the whole thing - it could only open xfc files, no plugins worked, and the filepicker has become an unusable mess... What on earth happened to the it? I can't use it anymore :((( For the files, this is because xcf is loaded and saved in the core, while every other format goes through a plug-in. Since libgimp is not found, the plug-ins don't load, and are thus not available. You can use the old 2.0 plug-ins by doing something like ln -s /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ~/.gimp-2.1/plug-ins , but then you will not have all the bug-fixes and previews which have gone into the 2.1 series. There is nowhere to paste in the URLs (filepath/name). Ctrl-F (Find) brings up a filename entry dialog box where you can paste URLs or file paths. I used to browse my galleries in mozilla, and then paste the url/filepath+name into the gimp filepicker. If this is your preferred way to browse files, then you might consider dragging and dropping the URLs from the Location bar into the toolbox of the GIMP. This even works for remote images in web-pages, and drag drop also works with multiple files, you can drop files to the layers dock to have them added as layers to your image, and DD also works for lots of other things (colours, patterns, layer previews, etc). I tested it under Gnome too: There I can see icons at least. But I can't use Gnome for other reasons. I guess it all means that the Gimp has changed from a Gtk app to a Gnome app. No, this isn't the case. Perhaps you are missing the icon themes, which are an optional but reccommended component for the GIMP?

This won't work with 2.1.4 though since we accidentally broke the wire protocol. It will work again with 2.1.5 (or current CVS). No, this isn't the case. Perhaps you are missing the icon themes, which are an optional but reccommended component for the GIMP? He is missing at least one of the following: - an icon theme that provides the icons - the shared-mime-info package - an entry in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that tells gtk+ to use the icon theme (for example: gtk-icon-theme-name = gnome) Alternatively upgrading to a recent GTK+-2.4 release would have fixed the problem. You should perhaps have mentioned that there's also Open Location in the toolbox which offers an entry to paste URLs or filenames to.

[Gimp-user] png problem
Dear all Sorry if I am asking on the wrong list, as this may not actually be a GIMP problem. I am trying to make a menu for a DVD, and following instructions at http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php I made a background as .jpg, and two buttons as .png files - to show highlighted and selected. No problems, and quite fun. Actually learnt something of Gimp layers, which I had been intending to do for months. jpg is OK, but png's fail to load when I try to use spumux to multiplex the button .pngs with the background. I tried to open the .pngs with kiconedit, and in konqueror, but no joy. They display fine with Mozilla. System Mandrake 10. I have tried saving from both Gimp 1.2 and 1.3 I can easily post the files if there is any need - nothing confidential in a couple of coloured rectangles.

[Gimp-user] keybinding for File-Open Location [was: Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker]
Hi, David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You should perhaps have mentioned that there's also Open Location in the toolbox which offers an entry to paste URLs or filenames to. Ah - I would have if I'd thought of it :) While we are on it. The HIG suggests to use Ctrl-L as the default keybinding for File-Open Location. I would like to follow this suggestion but we already use Ctrl-L to bring up the Layers dialog. Since that's a longstanding keybinding I am somewhat reluctant to changing it. On the other hand it would be good to follow the HIG advice here in order to be more consistent with other apps and also in order to get people used to the otherwise hidden Ctrl-L feature in the File Open dialog. So what do our users think about this? What would be a good alternative keybinding for the Layers dialog? Does it need one at all?

There are several implementation for virtual desktops on Windows and, from what I heard, whoever tried it doesn't want to miss that functionality any longer. Sven Why would a virtual desktop be preferred? Would it be to keep all of the Gimp windows on the other desktop to keep the main desktop relatively clutter free? Peace...

[Gimp-user] How to change the size of tool previews in Gimp 2.0?
I am learning how to use Gimp 2.0, and being a former (chemical) darkroom enthusiast, I am playing with obtaining b/w images from color ones. The problem I encounter is that the Channel Mixer dialog shows a preview of the resulting image that is very small - too small to have a clear idea of the result. How can I change the size of that preview? I tried with the preferences menu, changing the Interface/Previews item, but it had no effect. If this matters, I am using the following version of Gimp: 2.0.4-1 (Debian). Thank you, Peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
