Hello World,

This is my first post and I have two questions about text.
I am running Linux Mint and GIMP 2.10.34 Flatpak

1. I have downloaded a bunch of fonts from Google Fonts, they're all true type fonts and I want to add them to my font choices. I followed a Davies Media tutorial for adding them to a folder defined under preferences/folders/fonts
   
The two linked paths did not exist, so I had to create the directories to match the paths (why two, well the first didn't work). Anyway, I copied the fonts into the folders, went back to GIMP as the tutorial suggested, and select the refresh button in the fonts panel, and just like that nothing happened. Any ideas of why it didn't work and how to add new fonts?

2. Once again watching another Davies Media tutorial Top 5 text effects in GIMP and the tutorial requires you to select the three layers of text, so you can then select the selection to path.  For some reason, I cannot ALT + CLICK or ALT + SHIFT + CLICK the text layers and do not get the marching ants around the text, nor the selection to path function. Is there another way or do I have an issue with my version of GIMP flatpak? 
   

Thanks in advance 
Macr

Hi, I can't find the installation files, they are not available for macOS on the original Gmic site, can anyone help me? Thank you.

Hi!

The 2.10.36 release is tentatively planned for the end of the month. I believe it's mainly a security update, prompted by recent issues such as the libwebp exploit. Still, there's time to backport some bugfixes/updates/small features from 2.99. I can't make any promises, but I wanted to ask if there were any recommendations? The bug tracker is here if you're not familiar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

Ideally suggestions would either already be in 2.99 or only affect 2.10, since everything has to be implemented in 2.99 first to prevent regressions. Thanks!

Hello,

I am not very familiair to GIMP, but I hope somebody can help me.

I use Ubuntu 20.04
I had GIMP 2.10.18
I installed the Resynthsizer plugin
I see now f.e. FX-foundry and Script-Fu

In the map with plugins I see the heal-selection-tool.py and other files from resynthesizer

But when I go to Filters>Enhance> I cannot find the heal-selection-tools that there should be.

That's why I updated Gimp from 2.10.18 to 2.10.34.

But still I cannot find the tool.

I is it replaced to another location? Or is there a setting that I missed anywhere?

Thanks for a reaction

I have an old-style two-circles map, similar to the one here:



I've extracted the circles, and now need to turn them into squares so I can use them as a texture in a render. I've tried various techniques: warp, cage and scale transforms, and scale layer in the layer menu; either they're the wrong tools or I'm not using them properly; is there a way to actually do this?

I've traced some straight paths on an existing map. Is there a plugin that shows the angle of each of the lines, referring to zero degrees or 90 degrees? The gimp plugin 'Path Details' only provides the path length and number of points.

Hi - I'm a PS user, but can no longer justify the cost. I'm new to Gimp, just figuring out the basics. 

Mac OS 10.13, Gimp 2.10.34 rev 3

How do I make it *not* auto-select (as it's called in PS)?

eg: I select a layer in the layer list. When I click on the screen  to move it, it will move what is under the cursor on the screen, or the topmost layer above the selected layer on the screen.

I tried Prefs > Tool Options > Set layer or path as Active - both on and off - it doesn't make a difference.

Thanks!

Exporting a .bmp file in 32 bit from Gimp: the image does not work on Windows. (LoadImage() call)
Load and save in other programs fixes the bug.
(such as Pixelformer)
The way GIMP does Color Alpha Transparent and Opaque is way cool.
