[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.x Layers-Channels-Paths not showing layer previews
Hello all, My first post here - I've run into a strange problem and can't find an answer. Using Ubuntu 10.04, after some recent system updates, the Layers-Channels-Paths window no longer updates when a file is opened, the Layers area is empty, not showing a preview of the image. If I close and re-open the L-C-P window, then the layer preview of the image shows as normal, and the window as a whole works as expected. I've tried everything I could think of to trace the source of the problem, to no avail. I think it must be caused by something that got recently updated in the system, but I haven't been able to find it. Initially I noticed the problem with Gimp 2.6.10 that I had compiled from source myself. I deleted it and installed 2.6.8 from the repositories, but the problem persists. I then went through "apt" and "dpkg" logs, looking for system components that had recently been updated and downgraded many of them, again to no avail. My internet searches revealed a thread at Ubuntu forums a couple of years ago where someone had the exact same problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. The poster found no solution, but managed to solve the problem by installing 8.04 again. I think this is what I'm basically facing, having to re-install a clean 10.04. But I think there must be just one system library that I haven't tracked down that's responsible for this problem. Would anyone here have any idea which system library may be causing the problem? It's a long shot, but worth asking. Thanks in advance. Charlie ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Fonts
I'm a new user to GIMP. I have been thru Akkana Peck's book. I have used preferences to remove the reference to the Windows Font Folder and inserted my own Font Folder. GIMP sees my Font Folder but still picks up Windows Fonts. Is there a way to eliminate Windows Fonts from being seen by GIMP?

[Gimp-user] Reopening old/deleted Gimp files
I am using GIMP 2.6.6 on a Mac OS 10.4.11. I have used the program since early 2009. I am wondering if it's possible to open old GIMP documents that don't appear under "Document History." The images (JPEG files) I would like to open have been deleted from my computer, but it seems logical that GIMP would retain them, since I have worked with them in GIMP before. Is there a way I can recover these files? Thanks. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Font problems
I hope I'm in the right place. I have been using GIMP 2.6.3 for a while and love it. I have just run into a problem I cannot solve. I have acquired a set of Symbom Fonts from Combi. The set contains the following: CNPRO___.ttf CNPROBD_.ttf COMSYM01.ttf COMSYM02.ttf COMSYM03.ttf COMSYMCD.ttf COMSYMDV.ttf These fonts contain CD symbols and special characters. I have installed them into Win XP Home Edition and they work great everywhere excepr GIMP. CNPRO___.ttf and CNPROBD_.ttf display in the font selection and work fine. The last five [COMSYM01.ttf, COMSYM02.ttf, COMSYM03.ttf, COMSYMCD.ttf, and COMSYMDV.ttf] show in the font selection as the one title CombiSymbols and all are the same font (COMSYM01.ttf). Since the fonts carry their unique names internally, renaming the files will not help. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
