ofn-text-to-path bug? - betchern0t - 04-29-2020
Hi,
just installed this and it is a great tool. However I either have an installation issue or a bug. I want bold text so was going to change the font to a bold version but it shows an error message when the font control is clicked:

This is with 2.10.18
Thanks...
Paul

Known problem with 2.10.16-2.10.18 AFAIK (Gimp bug that breaks many plugins). Wait for 2.10.20 or get back to 2.10.14. I assume Rich will come along with a solution (alternate build or replacement library).

Using linux. This work-around https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Tip-Work-around-Gimp-2-10-18-script-plugin-bug
Click-n-drag a font into a script / plugin

Thanks everyone. Looks like I will have to wait for the next version of gimp. I run linux but the giving workaround crashes gimp for me.
Cheers Paul

Must be a flatpak effect
There is an alternative, what will be Gimp 2.10.20 with the bug fixed.
