I have discovered that in the most current download - 2.10.14 version - for Mac OS - many of the Fonts are no longer available as they were in the former versions.  For example Mistral and Curlz MT, which in particular I used often in the past, are showing strange symbols instead of the appropriate lettering in the text tool listing and in text boxes I create on images.  Can these Fonts be recovered and if so how can I do that?  Thank you for your kind attention and response regarding this disconcerting snafu. 

I have a .png file, of a white t-shirt, with background removed. I have opened another image into Gimp, a jpg, and want to put this as a new layer on the t-shirt. The problem is, when I do, the new layer is greyscale. I've done it before, and it's been ok, I just don't know what's happening, or how to resolve it. The original jpg is in colour, it's only when I paste it into the t-shirt png, that it goes wrong. I've noticed that the forground colour on the t-shirt, has a pink triangle in the top left corner?

When trying to select the font:

Hi, I have an XCF that looks right while viewing, and comes out okay as a JPG, but when I export PDF, some layers look very wrong.  I have a drop shadow and two "soft light" mode layers, and one or all of them are coming out as an ugly flat brown color instead of the shadow/texture I see while editing.

This is on 2.1.  I was using an older version to author the file, but PDF export started *crashing* there, so I upgraded to 2.1 today.  That exports, but has this bad artifact.

XCF is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlV7bW7zx2N8ps8QXG-4...Q?e=RVFQtA
The problem is the "bird" image inside the necklace.  It comes out flat brown.
The incorrect PDF is here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AlV7bW7zx2N8ps8cP2eD...A?e=3hFGqV

And I export with "Apply layer masks before saving" plus "convert bitmaps to vector graphics" plus "omit hidden layers" checked.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I've created a new layer filled  with Transparency. Made it active by clicking on it.
Go to the Rectangle Select tool. Draw a rectangle on the canvas.
As soon as I click on any other tool in the Toolbox the rectangle I drew disappears off the canvas.
I've created the rectangle with all of the Modes. Same results.

What didn't I do?

I bundled my three plugins Lissajous, Rhodonea, and Spiropath in one .py file (slightly updating them at the same time). The file is found in the same place

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/

when you follow the link "Applications". Better delete the old ones (they are copies of the new ones and will not be updated). In Gimp's menu the path is now a little different:

Image/Render/Parametric curves/Special curves.

If you have any problems with the plugins, please tell me. Or any questions, or suggestions. It is great fun to create such beautiful curves but I have run out of ideas. The plugin Parametric curves is a general tool but requires some mathematics and some programming, so if there is any need for some special curve, I'd be happy to try to make a specialized plugin. Just ask.

Hi all, I am pretty new to GIMP however wanted to make panorama with pandora. I put that script to both folders and wanted to refresh by Script-Fu as manual says. But there is some error in gimp or all the scripts (idk) as you can see on the screenshot. Could anyone help me please fix that?

I just now installed the English language manual for GIMP 2.10.  After I downloaded and installed the manual, I restarted my desktop PC (Windows 10).

However, the pages of the manual display as blank pages when I open it inside GIMP.  Attached is a screenshot to show what I am talking about.

What do I need to do, to fix this?  Thank you for any help.

Hello, a first time post.

I have downloaded the GIMP 2.10.18 for Windows on my PC and I'm getting what you see in Pic 1.

When I went to get advice in video form with Youtube everyone had the layout as in Pic 2.

Pardon my ignorance but what do I need to do to get it to that format ?

I realise it's probably I'm doing something completely wrong but any helpful advice you can give would be appreciated.

Can someone please tell me how to convert a plain text to Golden or Silver letters ? Will it work on non-Latin characters as well ?
