Hi,
I would like to create character bitmap from script-fu logos (using a
single character)
and the zapf dingbats font.
But I need to use character codes out my keyborad range and this for
several characters.
Please, could someone tell me how to do or give me a small script
(perl ??).
I don't really understand how all this script stuff works.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Stephane
I'm a little bit puzzled. Are you looking for a script that will automatically
insert some characters, based on some other user input? Or are you looking
for something you can use to interactively insert the characters you want?
If the former, you'd specify the number of the character you want, combine it
in a string with the other characters, then tell the gimp to render it. I'm
not sure what it would look like in Perl, but in Python it'd might look
something like this:
mystr = ''
for i in [72,235,108,108,242]:
mystr = mystr+chr(i)
textLayer = pdb.gimp_text_fontname(img, layer, x, y, mystr, -1, TRUE,
fontSize, fontType, font)
If the latter, look for either kcharselect or gcharmap on your machine. Either
of these programs will show you a list of the characters available for a
given font. Choose the characters you want from the list, copy, and paste
into Gimp's text tool.
