Question Font not registered properly?
Posted by: Evil_Underlord - 09-05-2019, 06:49 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (5)

Gimp 2.10.10
Windows 10

I use the Windows font Candara in GIMP on a regular basis. Suddenly, in the last two months,

  • previously created text boxes look fine
  • until I enter them and change anything
  • then the font becomes thinner
  • but still Candara.
In the font list I now have Candara (the new thin one) and Candara #1 (which doesn't really look like Candara).
Candara (new look) in bold is thicker than old Candara. Candar still shows up fine (only one version, and looks normal) in other applications (Word, PowerPoint).

I've tried uninstalling Candara and Candara Light (part of the same font family), in case the latter is what's screwing GIMP up. I've reset GIMP's font list from the dockable Fonts toolbox. I've added all the Windows font folders to GIMPs font folder list. I've deleted and reinstalled GIMP completely (but may not have found all its settings, if they're not deleted automatically).

This is driving me crazy. Candara works fine everywhere except GIMP, but I can't get it to work there.

It feels like there's something wrong with GIMP's font info - maybe after a Windows update added a Candara Light? - but my efforts haven't fixed it.

Posted by: Ofnuts - 09-05-2019, 03:48 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

This is a new version of settings-cleaner, repackaged and reworked to support the 2.10 settings (it should still work with 2.8).

At the usual place.

Enjoy.

  Nothing is happening
Posted by: Bonjameen - 09-04-2019, 09:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

   
Hi guys, sorry if my question is answered somewhere but I can't find the solution and I've encountered this problem twice on two separate machines. Re-booting and re-installing does nothing, it's as if once I encounter this problem, my computer refuses to work with GIMP anymore.

Anyway, to the problem. I use GIMP for Photo Editing, I just got GIMP installed on my newly delivered Windows 10  laptop. After a few hours, none of the tools in the color drop down will do anything. I encountered a similar problem about a year ago on a completely different machine, where nothing will seem to work. I can draw, it seems I can use the main tools on the left, but none of the tools I require work. I'm so fed up and tired of encountering this problem, a problem that literally nobody else on the internet seems to have encountered. So can someone please explain what is happening, because the last time this happened I gave up and didnt use GIMP on that machine again, I dont want to have to pay Adobe. The screenshot of what it looks like is attached, have a look at what's wrong.

  Editing a letter
Posted by: X3nion - 09-04-2019, 05:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Dear community!

I'm using GIMP 2.10 and I've got a question.
Therefore, I uploaded a picture below.
My plan is to make the shown letter "O" more bold than it is to a custom thickness.
How can I do this, so that it gets regularly bolder?

For an angled letter like "E" this was very easy, but how can I do this with a round letter?

[Image: 3fb5f55bab2941a5e7eb2bc18f537d28-full.png]

I'm looking forward to hearing from you and would be very thankful for every hint!

Kind regards,

Question Windows ported GIMP 2.10.12 jpg EXIF preservation
Posted by: Turn2Linux - 09-04-2019, 01:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

First installed the GIMP 2.10.12 and preserved EXIF through post-production.
Now suddenly it scrubs the EXIF.


I don't remember chaging any setup on camera or in software.

Any help in trying to rectify the situation will be appreciated.

Checked - It happens between opening a jpg and exporting it (without doing anything to the image).

  Recreating an image
Posted by: Viceroy07 - 09-04-2019, 12:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to imitate this image. So far I have created this but I am still not satisfied with the results. I have cloud brushes installed but I feel like this requires more tools to be used. I do not know what other tools or in what order to use them. So far I have been using brush and smudge and adjusting opacity, hardness, size and toughness. I also want to have this ''misty/foggy'' background behind clouds.

How can I achieve best results like in the first image? What steps do I need to follow?

  Can't open a file from a symbolic-linked folder
Posted by: mcpent - 09-04-2019, 10:02 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (2)

Hi everybody,
I use GIMP since very early versions and I love it.

I have an issue between Gimp and the Linux File System (ext4).

In my home I have a folder symbolic-linked to an other folder outside the home. I have set the privilege as rw:rw:r and I'm the owner. When I open a file form that directory Gimp says that can't open it because it can't read it. If I open it with an other software like inkscape or gThumb for instance, it works just fine.

Anyone as any idea?

Thank you anyhow Smile

Photo Getting lighting effects around an arch
Posted by: Darth_Sceptaurus - 09-03-2019, 05:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I am trying to get some highlights/shadows going on around this arch on my doorway, similar to what I have on the trim you see above.  I am not finding any simple way to do it, and in fact with every way I have tried I've ended up running into roadblocks.  Can anyone recommend the best, easiest, or most straightforward way to do this?

  text on curve
Posted by: Guillaume - 09-02-2019, 08:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Perhap someone more adept at GIMP can shed some light on a little problem.  I am doing the "text along a curve" thing, but soon get stopped in my track (or curve?)  When I click on  "text along path", the text gets obliterated  by a bunch of  "air bubbles" as you can see in the attachment.  Why do I get this and how can I prevent it happening?
