I'm using GIMP 2.8 on Xubuntu 12.10. I have been going through the new manual trying out various features, was experimenting with text-to-path, and ran into a problem I can't seem to solve.
In my test, I do the following: * Create a circular selection with the ellipse tool * Go to the Paths dialog and select selection to path * Select the text tool and enter the 26 characters a-z at 20 pt * I right-click in the text box and select "Text along Path" Only 18 characters, [a-r], are displayed. This seems to cover an arc of about 45-degrees. I undo, increase the text point size to 40 pt and reapply to the path and I get 19 characters, [a-s], covering an arc of about 95-degrees. I have tried this over and over and always get similar results. Regardless of how much text I enter, I only get a small initial portion displayed along the path. If I start over and create a long linear path with the path tool and then apply text to it, I still get the same truncated strings. Note: I do not have this problem with GIMP 2.6.11 on my Solaris system. Questions: 1: Any idea how I can get my entire text string to convert to the path, or is this a bug? 2: Any good reason why the "Path from Text" and "Text along Path" buttons were removed from the Text Tool Options menu? Thanks. -- Jeffery Small _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
