Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with text

[Ofnuts <ofnuts gmx com>]

My solution is "Layer>text to path" and then bucket-fill a selection
from that path. I assume that the path is directly obtained from the
font at that point and and so is more accurate than the Gimp/Pango
rendering.

This said it would be nice if the SPR were disabled for these uses.
