choosing fonts

Hi all,

I find that when you have more than ten fonts and try to choose a good one, it takes lots of time because you have to click in everyone....blah..blah

If you could make a feature so one can youse the arrows on the keyboard and see how a font looks, and check out the next font instead of having to click so many times. Also adding "letter spacing" feature wouldn't be too bad.

Thanks for all your efforts,

Gezim

In the drop-down box from the text tool font button, there is a button "Open the font selector dialog". This dialog allows navigation by arrow keys. This is also a dockable, so you can add it to the dock beside (say) paint brushes so that it is easily accessible while you are using the text tool.

Hope this helps, Dave.

I've tried this before, but I don't get the wanted results. When the "font selection dialog" opens I click on fonts, and use the arrow key but the font type on the current selected text layer doesn't change. Does it need configuring in anyway?

Try doubleclicking on the text layer in the layers dialog. Then the fonts dialog should change the font on that layer.

Hope this helps, Simon

It does need a recent version of The GIMP (2.0pre4).

That explains it. I've got 2.0-pre3-r1 right now coz in gentoo pre4 is not yet here. So something to look forward to.
