RE: [Gimp-user] how to write vertical text
In the file area of the gimpwin-user yahoo group, there's a script I wrote that will fit text to a path. It won't write the text vertically the way you want, but it will work nicely for arcs. I think you need to be a member of the group to access the file.

Hi, Sven Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: write vertical text, like T H I S It cannot do this. At least not without major hassle like moving the glyphs around manually. I don't plan to add support for vertical text until Pango supports it. Well, as someone pointed out, you can of course do it the way you did it in your mail. That is, enter a single glyph per line. For 1.2 you will need to use the GDynText plug-in since the basic text tool doesn't support multi-line text. I was however assuming you were speaking of text in asian scripts that are rendered top-to-bottom. You would not get far with the one-letter-per-line approach then.

TIA charkee do you mean text rotated 90 degrees? Or do you mean text like T H I S The solution depends on answering the above first :) I would be interested in learning how to write text like T H I S While, we're on the topic of text, are there any tutorials on making text along an arc? The curvebend filter _almost_ does what I want but not quite. Thanks... Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, charkee berekeke [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That piece on writing text on a curve is really interesting =).

I don't plan to add support for vertical text until Pango supports it. Sven One way I've figured out to do this is by using the "Dynamic Text" tool. Simply choose the text tool from the toolbox, right click on the image and click "Dialogs", then "Tool Options", then make sure "Dynamic Text" is checked. Then with the text tool selected, create a new transparent layer (always a good thing to do), and click on the image and the dynamic text tool dialog should open. Choose your font, font size, and metric (points, pixels, etc). Then type the first letter and then press "Enter" then type the second letter and press "Enter", etc.. Then when done, click "Apply" and the text should appear vertically as a floating selection that you can then choose the "move tool" to move around to the final location and then anchor. At least that's worked for me :) Peace... Tom
