Hi,
     just installed this and it is a great tool. However I either have an installation issue or a bug. I want bold text so was going to change the font to a bold version but it shows an error message when the font control is clicked:

   

This is with 2.10.18

Thanks...

Paul

Known problem with 2.10.16-2.10.18 AFAIK (Gimp bug that breaks many plugins). Wait for 2.10.20 or get back to 2.10.14. I assume Rich will come along with a solution (alternate build or replacement library).

Thanks everyone. Looks like I will have to wait for the next version of gimp. I run linux but the giving workaround crashes gimp for me.

Cheers Paul

Must be a flatpak effect Wink

There is an alternative, what will be Gimp 2.10.20 with the bug fixed.

A Gimp 2.10.19 appimage from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/

this one: https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...4.AppImage   164 MB download
