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):

   

   

Hi all!

I'm new to Gimp. I want to make a photobook for my parents 80th birthday. I have some old photos, that are faded and strangely colored. I googled a bit and found a plugin (restore.py from https://github.com/stongey/PhotoRestore, written in python) that was really old but with great results. I tried to install it, but with no luck. I finally installed Gimp newly with python and some other packages (took me some hours to try all the hints) but still that plugin does not appear in the menu. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 with Gimp 2.10.34 and Python 2.7.

Are there any other plugins working like this one that are easier to install?

And if not, how can I refresh the old photographs? Are there any good tutorials / videos? And didn't find good one when searching. Maybe I didn't use the right terms for searching.

Many thanks in advance!

hi guys i need some help about GIMP:

I was making a cover for youtube, to make it more appealing I downloaded the core pack for lightning and all that stuff there.

I was trying to drag an image from one window to another but I can't.

I take the image from the core pack window I drag it from the layers onto the cover window and it doesn't change my window it stays on the core pack one.

Please help me I've been trying to do this for 2 days and I can't.
