Yes, it gives slightly better results, but, as I wrote, I was trying to
give methods that didn't involve learning too many things at once :-)

There are also interesting possibilities using text-shaped holes in
layer masks.

It would be awesome to see the ability to apply a filter to a text
layer, such as blur, and have gimp remember that; the GEGL version in
the future might offer such things.

Best,

Liam
