Help with missing font

text-info-0.1.py about 22 down from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/

looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/lEVzExG.jpg

If you only have a flattened file, jpeg/png/tif then you could try cropping out the text and uploading to a search site such as http://www.whatfontis.com Even if the font is not recognised you might get a close-enough match.

This sort of thing: https://i.imgur.com/YdUPkTi.jpg

Quote: Is there any way I can get a larger batch of fonts installed which might contain the one I used? Or any other suggestions?

A large collection of free-to-use fonts: https://fonts.google.com/

Individual fonts here: https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/ofl
The collection as a large zip https://github.com/google/fonts/

These are best used as-and-when required. There should be a decent font file viewer in LM. Identify the one you want, then just copy in-and-out of ~./gimp-2.8/fonts

Many thanks. Yes, I still have the .xcf file. I'll look into it as soon as i get a moment today.
