[Gimp-user] Gimp Upgrade MAC OS x Print Size Problem
I recently upgraded to GIMP version 2.6.10 (Mac OS x Snow Leopard). Ever since I've had a print size issue I can't resolve. I didn't have this problem with previous GIMP versions. Despite the saved size, the image prints smaller. I've tried everything I can think of from playing with scale, resolution, page and print setup. Doesn't matter if I use Gutenprint, the image prints small. The image size is 4x width by 3 height (72 pixels/in). It consistently prints 3width x 2height.gr I'd appreciate any recommendations - including going back to a previous GIMP version. Thanks. -- bigdreamspublishing (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] GIMP on Mac OX X Leopard
Does anyone know if it is possible to compile GIMP (MacPorts) on Leopard (PPC)? I've tried, but I am getting errors during that process... Thanks, Victor Domingos ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP on Mac
I use gimp-2.3 from the development build under fink or ports (i forget which one). It has all the features you want. the only problem I *hate* is that the X11 will not take control of Gimp when I click on it once...i have to click twice to activate a tool...very annoying.

I haven't seen the yellow cursor for quite a while, but thought that it disappeared after I changed GIMPs cursor preferences. Lets see.. ... oh, OK - the cursor preferences are _not_ set to black and white bitmap any more and the cursors are displayed correctly. So this means the problem is gone after all. (Tried with GIMP 2.3.16) And yes, there have been some X11.app updates from Apple in the last 6 months or so. Greetings, lexA Sven --- Remember: There are only two tools in life.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp for Mac OS X won't open
Hi, Could you please try to start gimp from a terminal window? You might get output that could help to debug the problem. open gimp.app got no output, which I understand is good news, and after about two minutes, the program actually opened. However, the font problem is back, even though GBwhateveritwasBitmap font has supposedly been deleted from my computer. I did use search engines for freetype and fontconfig and, as I'm no programmer, couldn't understand how to update them, or even how to find out where/if they were on my computer. My programming ability is limited to cd and ls in Terminal, if that gives you any idea of what skill level you're dealing with.

[Gimp-user] Gimp for Mac OS X won't open
(Running GIMP 2.0.5 on Mac OS 10.3.7.) It started when I recently encountered a small bug wherein scrolling through the font menu caused GIMP to crash. I learned via Bugzilla that the culprit was a corrupted font, deleted that font, and attempted to re-open GIMP. It no longer opens. I have tried restarting my computer, and even tried upgrading to 2.0.6 - nothing. The grey box appears in the middle of my desktop, on top of all other windows, but without the logo or text; X11 opens as well, but nothing happens beyond the grey box appearing. Please note that I am not a programmer or developer and have extremely limited experience with unix and X11.

[Gimp-user] Gimp on Mac?
Hi all, I have a Mac-using friend who is having difficulties with Photoshop which I think Gimp might solve. He is pretty new to web-design and is struggling with image maps, and I know that GIMP has a very cool image-map feature. I was hoping I could get him hooked up with Gimp. :) Now, this is a very non-technical guy. I am an experienced Unix/Linux user, I have hardly ever touched a Mac. Also, I don't have much time to help him in-person because we live some distance appart. Most of what I can offer him is email help. Now my questions: * How hard is it to install Gimp on Mac? * Is there a free (as in beer) version? If my choices are to compile from source, or pay for the version at macgimp.org, I'll pay. But is there another option? I want an honest opinion on MacGimp. Is it usable? By that I mean stable/easy-to-install/behaves-nicely/etc. I just don't want to give him something that's just going to make his life more difficult.
