try gimp again

Latest version is 2.8.14. My usage in Jan 2013 said ver 2.8.2. Obviously different, so what happened to versions? I'm trying to make some business cards. It is NO help that text point size keeps going to 2.2,for direct or pasted entry. This suffices to kill Gimp. What would let me set and forget font and size? (like a.p.s., that other program)

Regards, Donald A. Miller

You should describe what you are doing - GIMP will use any font size you tell it to.

But you should also consider to use a more appropriate application than an image manipulation program to create business cards - Scribus would be a powerful application for that, but might be overwhelming, especially if you are already struggling with basic GIMP usage.

LibreOffice should perform nicely, any images you need for the card can be created and/or edited in GIMP.

Regards,
Michael
