I am a newbie when it comes to GIMP -- this has probably been asked before but I hope someone here can help.

I have a GIF drawing on a white background - its an animation with 3 frames. Is there a way to remove the white background, in effect making it almost transparent?

Im using Windows XP Media Edition. By not working I mean it doesn't show up. The one I was asking about I got to work someone from another Gimp mailing list helped me. But thanks for trying.

that won't work in GIMP. At first I thought in was the font but the

font

works in other programs. Does anyone know of a way to get it to work?

I may or may not be able to help, but for starters we need a little more
information to be able to diagnose the problem.

First of all, what operating system are you using?

Second, how do you define "not working?" Do you mean the font is not available (doesn't appear in the menu), or do you get poor results when you use it? And if it's the latter, please describe the results you get.

Also, you said there are some other fonts that aren't working. Even if you never use them, it might be helpful to ask what distinguishes all the fonts that don't work from those that do. E.g., do they all come from the same foundry? Are they all in the same directory? And so on ..
