custom font - dhugg - 04-13-2020
hello,
i am fairly new at gimp and i am trying to learn the features and functions as i go along. i am running gimp 2.8.22 on windows xp at this time but getting ready to go to 2.10 on windows 10. i am kind of learning gimp on the standalone xp machine before moving to gimp 2.10 on windows 10.
I have been trying to get started learning "custom font" plugins and scripts.
I guess my first question is can i use the custom font plugins in my 2.8.22 environment?
if so, how does one get started using this. Right now i cant get any of the plugins/scripts to do anything (except font slab). After running each plugin i either get nothing on the screen or i get errors where called scripts are missing or not run with correct parameters? where does one learn about the purpose of each script as well as the order in which these scripts are to be run as well as what input parameters produces what result for each plugin/script (setup)?
seems useful in theory if i could just put it into practice??
thanks for the help......

I can start you off, should work in XP although you "takes-your-chance"
Go here http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14045&start=350#p211026 and download the custom_font.scm script.
That goes in C:\Documents and Settings\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8\scripts.
A couple of pages further on are some of the font files. http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14045&start=380#p230061 These are multi-layer Gimp xcf files with one character per layer.
Works like this: https://i.imgur.com/RVjIg1o.mp4 but the best place to ask questions is https://gimplearn.net where skinnyhouse (Alan) hangs out.
