[Gimp-user] Found Re: Where are "N", "M" dashes?

2017-04-09 Thread Rick Strong

Found it!

From Techwalla:

"Select "Use Editor" in the GIMP toolbox to display the text editor and then 
press "Ctrl," "Shift" and "U" to enable direct Unicode entry. The text 
editor displays a "u" to represent a Unicode character. Insert the symbol by 
typing its Unicode value in the window and pressing "Enter.""


Unicode from unicode-table.com:

https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/general-punctuation/
"General Punctuation is a Unicode block containing punctuation, spacing, and 
formatting characters for use with all scripts and writing systems. Included 
are the defined-width spaces, joining formats, directional formats, smart 
quotes, archaic and novel punctuation such as the interobang, and invisible 
mathematical operators."

Subject: [Gimp-user] Where are "N", "M" dashes?

I can’t seem to get an “N” or “M” dash out GIMP’s text editor.

Alt+0150 “–” and +0151 “—” work for me in other programs, just not GIMP.
Win 7, GIMP 2.8.16, Minion Pro font.
Any suggestions?

TIA,
Rick S.

Re: [Gimp-user] Trying to sharpen an image

I'm trying a quick way, hopefully, to sharpen a png file I have. Is there a
tutorial on how to do this?

It's an image of a collectible card game but the image is a little blurry.

If it's overly complicated to do this in GIMP can someone be so kind as to offer
any other suggestions on how I can sharpen my image?

I've attached the file in question

Thank you

Seems to work fine here.

Right now you can only scan 8-bit per channel images with the xsane
gimp plugin, although the standalone xsane is fine.

Is there anything for Linux systems that competes with XSane? the other
scanning programs I've seen are very limited - e.g. can't select a page
area (whole page only) or can't choose bit depth, or can't tell the
scanner to focus on the glass or the film holder, or to use the
document feeder, or don't have a "batch' feature where you choose
several areas on the page to be scanned when you press the button on
the scanner (or the Ok button in the interface).

The xsane gimp plugin is often packaged separately from XSane and
separately from GIMP.
