GIMP: Diffrent fonts?

Submitted by bo0m on August 31, 2009 - 11:59am

I've been using portable gimp to do my photo editing for a while now, and I've always wondered if there was a way to either add or change the fonts available in the text option?

I've tried downloading fonts into my windows font folder, but no luck. also, I've tried to find a font folder in the gimp folders to see if its a way to add more fonts to the program, no luck either.

If anybody knows a way, please fill me in.

Please & thank you

I use ClamWin Portable, and it says this about portable Gimp.

J:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin\gimp-2.6.exe: Trojan.Agent-121386 FOUND
J:\Vista\Portablepps\GIMPPortable_2.6.7_Rev_3.paf.exe: Trojan.Agent-121386 FOUND

False positive? If so, how can I be sure?

[Fixed] GIMP 2.6.7 Rev 2 - Script-Fu crashes...

I installed over 2.6.6 and had a problem where EVERY plugin 'stopped working' (had to kill the GIMP tree with process explorer...)

I then deleted the whole GIMP folder, and re-installed...

Now only script-fu crashes...but the window still opens.
If I try to start it (right click -->script fu...) then it warns me about the failure and tells me to restart it.

2 re-installs have not solved the problem...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Can you change the GIMP Default Save to location?

By default, GIMP saves all new files to X:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin.
If you save a file to a different location, GIMP will remember that, but only for that session; if you close GIMP, and then re-open it, it will once again save all new files to X:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin.

Not an awful problem, EXCEPT:
When you update GIMP Portable, it blows away the bin folder, and any files you accidentally saved there are lost forever.

I lost a number of files when I just upgraded to 2.6.7.

Gimp Portable Background Window

Submitted by Judebox on July 23, 2009 - 5:09am

Hi all !
I'm new on this forum and I have one question.
I have installed Gimp Portable 2.6.6 and the 2 plugins "Background Windows" and "Photoshop Layout".
The second one is well working but the first one seems to do nothing: when I open two pictures, I have to tabs in the Windows taskbar...
Is there any other thing to do after the plugin installation ?
Thanks !!

GIMP: undesired unicode character in the scale drop box

Submitted by JackieKu on April 27, 2009 - 2:01am

Hello,

I'm using GIMP Portable 2.6.6 on Windows Vista (Chinese version), I noticed there is a strange character at the bottom of window (Please see the screenshot at the below). It doesn't cause any function loss but it is somewhat annoying. (I didn't install additional locales and I'm using LANG=en_US)
