[Gimp-user] greek letters

2014-05-14 Thread gimppimpf
You can also use the unicode values for single letters by typing 
  ctrlshiftuenter
where  is the hexadecimal value of the unicode character you wish
to
enter.  The 'U' may be either upper or lower case, as may be the hex
letters.

For example to enter the formula for the area of a circle, πr² 
  ctrlshiftu03c0enterrctrlshift00b2enter

Wikipedia has a good table of unicode characters:

Hi Gary,

thanks a lot - that perfekt answer will help me. I must build a starmap with the
starnames. For Example alpha Gemini, but the word alpha must be a greek letter.
The rest ist normal text.

[Gimp-user] Problem with Text Tool

Thanks Judah, what you suggest ok, but without the text preferences panel in the
left panel, it's not possible to change the text away from the default size,
font, colour etc...

Au contraire. Type some  text in, select in, change its settings in
the floating panel.

Thanks Alexandre, that works, but I'm still unhappy about the software not
working as shown in the various tutorials I've read and watched.

Thanks again

There was a huge change between 2.6 and 2.8. Did you make sure that you are
reading current tutorial? Have you checked the documentation?

Hi,

I'm very new Gimp and image editing in general. 

Are there any books you'd recommend on either, but preferably both?
