instead of a circle I'm getting a cross so cant select the part of the pic I want to clone . Have hit the Ctrl key and no good . Also when I open a new pic it goes straight to clone. Have even uninstalled and reinstalled

Apparently the site http://abfonts.freehostia.com/ is making its fonts available for download for free:

"Consider all fonts downloaded from abfonts as free for personal, non-commercial use only unless otherwise specified in the newsgroup message, in an accompanying file and/or in the font itself. Get in touch directly with font authors to inquire about the use of a font for commercial purposes.''

It seems that a typography studio closed down and without being able to sell their fonts anymore, they decided to make them available for free. But I am not sure about this information.

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

This is my GIMP python script for the creation of hexagonal grids, with a "best fit" search algorithm for optimal rasterization.

About the plug-in:
        

• It creates an hexagonal grid as a vector "path", covering as much as possible of the image's surface.
  
• The hexagon's ideal dimensions are calculated and then slightly stretched to fit the image's pixels.
  
• To avoid too much stretching, the algorithm searches for the best size within a user chosen interval.
  
• Optionally, the path can be stroked on the active or newly created layer.
  

I've been having trouble installing the BIMP plug-in, with error messages stating 'Official GIMP package not found'.  I looked at the file path for plug-ins indicated in the BIMP executables, and noticed that they were very different from those in my existing GIMP installation. So I have uninstalled GIMP and am starting again.  

I am using an iMac with Apple M1 chip, running OS-X 13.2.1 Ventura.  The GIMP download options are 'GIMP for Intel' and 'GIMP for Apple Silicon'.  I chose the latter, but the dmg file it downloads is called 'gimp-2.10.34-arm64.dmg'.  I thought ARM chips were different again?  Is this the correct download for the Apple M1 chip?

I have found tantalising hints about this problem here and there but no real explanation and no solutions.

I have some trusty old fonts that I'm quite fond of and have used in graphical layouts for many years.

These fonts still look fine in Apple's FontBook.  I can still set text with them in TextEdit.

GIMP continues to see these fonts in its master Fonts Menu as always.

However, it is not drawing the glyphs for these fonts at all.  Instead it is representing them as rectangles containing ASCII code values.

WTH?

I've never had a problem with GIMP and fonts before.  There seems to be no particular rhyme or reason to the failure -- it's not like "only all-caps fonts are failing", or "only fonts with no boldface and italic option are failing."  It seems kind of random.

The one I first noticed was Bank Gothic, an oldie but a goodie.  Then I realised that in the GIMP Font Menu there were some other fonts with no rendition, just ASCII codes.  It's not a large percentage of my font library but it does include some of my favourites.  Grrr!

Does anyone have a clue?

Hello. I have a problem: I need to create 300 invitations. The invitations consist of the same graphic to which I need to add the details of the invited people.
How can I automate this in Gimp?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello

I apologise if this has been covered, but a search for same problem did not yield anything.  I am running GIMP 2.10.34 and I am trying to install the Resynthesizer plugin on Catalina (10.15.7).  I followed the instruction on several different sites and YouTube experts.  This problem seems to be different than what I am finding (all having to do with libintl.8.  The solution was to create a symlink from .8 to point to .9.  I have done that and it still is not playing ball.  The error I get is this:



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 741, in response
    dialog.res = run_script(params)
  File "/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 362, in run_script
    return apply(function, params)
  File "/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/plugin-heal-selection.py", line 148, in heal_selection

error: procedure not found

I'm kind of useless at these kinds of things.  Is there an expert that can tell me what the issue is?  Any replies very much appreciated.

I cleaned up a 78 page old photocopied document. Very easy by increasing contrast on the colors tab. After editing each page and saved it  - they became layers. I saved as .xcf  and exported to .png. In either case, I cannot view the separate layers so that I can print each page.  Any suggestions?

Continuing with my obsession over cylinders in general and beverage bottles & cans in particular, may I introduce you to ofn-flatten-cylinder, that takes the image of a cylinder (or something on a cylinder):
