When I try that, it works up to the b (as soon as I type the u a little window pops up and subsequent digits go there), but it refuses to accept either b or c -- it simply does nothing for those letters, and nothing appears in the little IM window. It will accept digits 0-7 and 9 and a, d, e or f but not 8, b or c. gnome-terminal behaves the same way. We discussed it on IRC and Liam wondered whether I had some other binding for ctrl-shift-b and c and ctrl-shift-8 -- it's possible, but if so I don't know about it and they don't do anything I can see. I can't find any such bindings in my window manager. If I right-click in a gtk text entry and look at the Input Methods submenu, the one that's active is "System (Simple)". I'd be curious whether Gimppimpf is seeing the same thing, with some characters working but not b, c or 8. I also had trouble pasting an alpha: I tried selecting one in a browser, but middleclick paste doesn't work in gimp's new text tool. In Firefox I was able to ctrl-C and then ctrl-V it into gimp, but that wouldn't work everywhere -- not all apps have a way to copy to the clipboard. I filed a bug (730315) on not being able to paste the primary X selection. ...Akkana ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] greek letters
Friends, Even though I intended to reply through this list, I just noticed that I sent my reply to GP to the email list in his post by mistake. In my response to his post, I suggested verifying that the font that he was trying to use for the label was a unicode implementation. On my windows system, the "True Type" fonts do not have the alpha character he's seeking, because they have no character in slot u03B1, but the Open Type fonts do. . ns ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

For me, using the Gimp on-canvas text tool, hold down control and keep it pressed hold down shift and keep it pressed press 3 and let go press b and let go press 1 and let go let go of control and shift will insert a lower-case Greek letter alpha (α). If that doesn't work, gucharmap (gnome character map) will let you copy Greek letters that you can paste into gimp. You can use the right-click menu to paste when the gimp text tool is active. If you prever, in tool options for the text tool, select "use editor" and paste there instead. If you are using a mac, windows, or the android or ipad unofficial gimp ports, please say so, as it's hard to guess your environment and these things work differently on different systems.

[Gimp-user] Creating metallic effect on skin
Hello- As a newbie Gimp user, (non photographer, non artist, non graphics designer) I'm getting more comfortable with how to use and create with this astonishing program. While fooling around with basic colorizing an old b/w image I wanted to try to add a metallic sheen to the skin of the person in the photo but couldn't figure out how. I don't quite understand the gradient tool enough but it seems it cannot be used for such a purpose as filling a free selection (face, chest, etc.) with a metallic gradient...is that correct? All tutorials I've seen point to metallic text creation, or they are PS tutorials with settings and options not in Gimp. I'd appreciate any guidance with this , thank you!
