[Gimp-user] multi-line text control

2006-10-09 Thread Mark Harris
I'm using a windows version of Gimp, 2.2.1.3.  I notice I don't have the 
capability for multiline text, which I believe is provided by the 
gdyntext plug in.  I've been unable to find a windows version of this 
plug in, and cannot build it from source using MS C++.  Would anyone 
know where to turn for this?

wow, i haven't heard anyone mention gdynatext in a really long while.

i would be curious what the error message is if you tried to build this
as you have described here.

i think that the new texttool accepts an enter to create individual
lines with.  there are also some buttons that allow you align the text
horizontally.

more current is the freetype plug-in.  but the way gimp developers use
the word 'current' -- if taken like the velocity of a stream, many of
the developers have confused a lake with a stream.

I brought up my version of Gimp (2.2.13), and used the regular text widget.
If you press Enter while you're editing the text, it automatically expands the text that will be dropped onto the canvas.
Keep in mind that I left the dialog displayed while I was typing the text (after having clicked on the text tool itself.
