Gradients between paths |

I have GIMP 2.10.10 on Windows.
Is there a way to apply a gradient from one (closed) path that terminates around another (closed) path. I am attempting to show elevation on a map and I can assign a certain color to specific distances above/below sea level. But I cannot see how to use gradients to blend these colors so that the terrain looks more "natural". The gradient would need to follow both the contours of the outer path (perhaps as the background color) and use the contours of the inner path (the foreground color) as its limit. Or is there an alternative way to do this? Thank you!

Add text with script fu |

Hello from France,
I have been using Gimp for a long time, having been using GNU/Linux for 20 years.
I'm working on a poster without date. I need, from this file, make 30 similar posters, just adding a different date to each one.
Last year I did it by changing the date by hand.
I wonder if it would not be possible with a Fu script.
- Added slap
- add the text field to the right place and the right size
- choice of the police, size, color, alignment
- adding text (if possible with a dialog box)
- record new file ?
I do not know fu scripts yet but I have programming basics. That does not put me off.
Nevertheless, I just read a lot of pages and I found no example to add a simple text on an image.
So if you could tell me if it's possible and give me some leads, it would be great.
Thank you all in advance,
Carl

Problem with Text Tool |

Tears of frustration without the Text Tool on my newly updated 2.8.6 version of Gimp (PC Windows 8.1)... I've searched the internet, followed the video tutorials, searched and read the related forum threads that I could find but cannot get my text tool to work properly...
...the dialogue box states font size as 28... I click on the text tool in the tool box ("A") and drag a rectangle on the new blank canvas, click the cursor inside the rectangle and start typing...HOWEVER, the text appearing in the rectangle is microscopic...I can see that the color I picked is red and assume that the font etc. is correct but I cannot enlarge the print from the dialogue box...whatever I modify in the menu/ dialogue boxes (e.g. size) does not change anything!
I've checked the layers and experimented with everything I can think of to no avail. (I had the same problem with an earlier version of Gimp and downloaded what I thought was the latest version but did not uninstall the earlier one...maybe this was a mistake???) Any suggestions? Anyone? Thanks! -yawni

Removing dark background, no contrast |

Hello everyone,
I'm a total gimp newbie! I've been struggling for days with removing a dark background because there's not contrast between it and the subject's hair (dark brown hair on black background). I would like to know if there's hope of extracting the background from this image without losing some of the hair details.
Thank you very much.

some fonts not displaying properly |

I noticed that some fonts that used to be okay are no longer displaying properly and sometimes when I select a font, any font including the 3 listed below, they just don't work. I'm using 2.10.12.
Bitstream
Century Schoolbook
Courier
are the one I notice. they display with binaries? e.g. the word 'cot' in CS is written 0063,006F, 0074.
All those fonts are fine when I open other apps like Libre Office.
How can I resolve this, please?

new project is in inches and saving at wrong size! |

Yeah.. how do i get it stay in inches? I did a whole project except one small part and shut down for the night, next day opened it and while i was looking at it to remember what i wanted to do last, i zoomed in and saw the one bit was not in alignment, and as i started to move it, i saw the everything was off. But then i realized it wasnt in inches anymore. Making it difficult to size, for me. ok, so i couldnt see anyway to get it back to inches,and just gave up in frustration. since it was completed. I saved it and exported to png. Well i just opened it my other really odd graphics software like b efore xp? lol i think? anyway, it was there, but instead of being 11 inches wide it was only 5.5 inches wide. yeah. I enlarged it and saved it aging. it looks fine other than that.
Now i just opened another project to find the same thing. its not in inches any longer. i was almost done with this one too. ok how on earth do i make gimp stop playing around with my files and dimensions? I know its probably something im doing, but all i do is 'save' and open recent.....thank you
I just opened this last one int he other software, photo draw, and yeah, same thing, gimp is saving these as half sized why? i have to say, my experience with gimp interface etc is not encouraging me to love gimp. Which i had always loved it before, er long ago...years ago lol. always like it more than photoshop.. cant rem why though now. ok.. so
HOW DO YOU GET THE FILE TO STAY THE SAME SIZE YOU CREATED IT? I MEAN REALLY, LOL. HAHAHA THANK YOU
is this really true?
