hi list, after having built gimp-1.3.7 and having played around with a
bit i was left wondering if the only text string you could render with
the font tool was 'gimp'.. the following conversation on #gimp ensued:
<naru> hi, question: am i just too dumb or is it not possible to render
anything else than the string "gimp" in gimp-1.3.7 ?
tool options only show font selection no inputarea. TIA
<brix> naru: get the freetype plug-in
<brix> naru: http://freetype.gimp.org/
<naru> thanks man
<naru> seems like garnome didn't package this :)
<brix> AFAIK it's not part of the official GIMP... yet.
<tig_away> and garnome is a GNOME distribution
<naru> sure yeah, but he has an area where you can build gimp137
<naru> anyways thanks a lot
<brix> naru: np
<tig_away> naru: maybe ask jdub to include it?
<tig_away> it would be useful
<brix> tig_away: good idea.
<naru> good idea, i'll post the suggestion to the mailing list
i suppose adding the freetype plugin to the deps would make sense,
personally i only tried out gimp to see what the nice new fontengine
would do for the gimp.
regards
naru
