OK--I shall try everything at the gimpparasite page of GIMP Base Library Reference Manual--hopefully, some will rescue the data from the parasite and allow me to inset them back as a new text layer ... I was hoping for a pointer on which ones to try, being green as green...
Quote:As a side note creating a text with size 10 and scaling it up 2x doesn't create the same shape as creating the text in size 20. In the picture below, the blue is a Roboto Heavy size 62 scaled up to match the red which is native size 124:Well--that ought to be expected, ought it not?
--Your own observations on 'bendiness' in the ofn-bend-path pluguin give some pointers in path deformation on transforms
--Latex goes to the trouble of creating lots of 'virtual fonts' for each of its fonts to address size change
--Some font packages come with different versions for size (Serif6Beta-Regular.otf, Serif12Beta-Regular.otf, Serif72Beta-Regular.otf)...
That just shows that if you have a file with lots of text, scale it and wish to continue editing by adding some more text, you ought to edit the scaled text layers also, to get a uniform look...
