[Gimp-user] Subject: Re: How do I insert text?

["Klaus Gölker" <klausgoelker gmail com>]

Hello,

if you are writing text with the Text tool, there may be some other causes,
if you can´t see the text.
First: check your foreground color. If you are using the same text color as
is the background oft he image, you will not see your text.
Second: if you are working with layers, make shure the uppermost layer is
active before you begin typing. Otherwise the text may be hidden behind an
overlaying layer.
Greetings

I think GIMP deserves some promotion. Thats why I implemented a "Game of
GIMP". You can find it here: http://www.bilderstroeme.de/gameOfGimp.
I hope you have fun and use it to promote gimp.
I would like to make a version for android and iphones, too, but I don't
have a developer-account. So I'm looking for someone who could be able to
put such a version into the aplle store or into th google play store.
Thanks,
Gunold
