Hrmmpff, one has to select the GDynText layer an then one has to invoke "Filters/Render/Dynamic Text". Easy - if you know it :-) I tried to select the text and then i searched for "edit selection" or i selected the layer and searched for "edit layer". "edit layer attributes" also did not help... Anyway, nice tool. Thanks Marco. What is the "charmap" window doing ? (mk) -- Matthias Kurz; Fuldastr. 3; D-28199 Bremen; VOICE +49 421 53 600 47

Re: GDynText
Get the latest version of GIMP (1.1.25) It has the option to specify where the text is placed.

How do you place text generated by GDynText anywhere other than the top left corner? Thanks, : Gene Imes http://www.ozob.net :

Please upgrade to the newest gimp (1.1.23) or start it with LC_NUMERIC=C gimp gdyntext uses the locale (de in your case) for numeric data and confuses the plug-in protocol.

Re: GDynText is broken ?!?!
you knocked on the right door. i faced this problem before. its a problem with your LC_NUMERIC global variable. the only way to work around this bug si to set this variable to C. example do this: LC_NUMERIC=C ; gimp & it should work. if it does not work, try to unset the LC_ALL variable. unset LC_ALL; LC_NUMERIC=C ; gimp & it should woork.

One stupid suggestion (I've been cought there once): make sure, that you entry your text in the TEXT window. The window with alphabet is NOT the text window, it's only the sample, text window is below. So, if you entry text in sample window, you'll have null text in the TEXT window and only very small empty layer. Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Would be too easy No... it seems to be a font problem... the border seems to be way too small...

i assume you're using the setup command: xfstt & xset fp+ unix/:7101 both need to be done. you may also need to "build" your library. i think that's xfstt --sync or something like that. it's in the documentation, i believe. -- DataWizard [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Kyle Lanning http://inverness.levitate.org ICQ: 63530867

Re: gdyntext
>but what is the LC_NUMERIC variable and what is C ? >just to know if it breaks something else. It is for locale things, in this case numbers. Setting it to C means that no translation is done, it uses what the original code has. LANG, LC_* were created for this, to decide how do you want to see numbers, messages, dates and such, C is the untraslated version (normally English, but could be anything). So break anything? I doubt, but you will not get messages translated (no problem if you know the languaje they appear on). GSR
Re: gdyntext
thanks for the workaround. it works well.
i added these lines to my .bash_profile file :
unset LC_ALL
LC_NUMERIC=C
export LC_NUMERIC
but what is the LC_NUMERIC variable and what is C ?
just to know if it breaks something else.

just the same error as with acrobat reader 4.05 not able to work with
embeded fonts ...
with locale LC_NUMERIC set to anything other than "C" (that is unequal to
the settings from "C" -- for sure) breaks the communication between gimp
and the plug-in. In gdyntext from gimp-1.1.20 this is solved.
As a workaround you can start gimp like that:
LC_NUMERIC=C gimp
or something else that sets the environment LC_NUMERIC to "C". Supposed
you don't have "LC_ALL=es" or similar ...
Locale are used in this sequence and later ones overwriter the previous:
LANG -> LC_{NUMERIC,MESSAGES,CTYPE, etc.} -> LC_ALL
so LC_ALL overwrites them all and if it is set you have to unset it.
It's best to set LANG to your prefered language and then finetune with LC_*
Hope that helps

gdyntext
i just downloaded the plugin from the plugin registry. it simply does not work. it seems like it scales the the police with a too big factor. (it generates a small layer about 10x10 pixels that is dependent on the size of the police). does anyone encountred this problem before? gdyntext 1.4.4 on a i586 RH5.2 XFree 3.3.6 gimp 1.0.4 s@m
gDynText problem
I am experiencing strange behaviour of the gDyntext plugin in the latest CVS version of GIMP. It renders an empty layer, very small, but enlarges on the amount of text. What made me not to report it a bug is that it works well on my other system which has rather same setup. Has anyone experienced this behaviour and knows where the problem is? I can't live without gDyntext one more day =) I used version 1.4.3 that ships with GIMP CVS and 1.4.4 from author's site. I have a linux 2.2.12 kernel, xfree 3.3.5 running on an i686.
