Nice collection Rod i wonder if would be possible batch convert them to path. You know i am not too passionate of paths and vectors, yet i always need to adapt pre-made ballon , as brush or font i may only scale as path i may quickly adapt to the image to be pasted on Usually i end doing ballons from scratch because time to search , open and edit the most adapt "Bit map" ballon is usually more then to create a new one, but this for "bitmap" baloons, if are paths that become quicker and more neat. Thinking better that of save and export the ballons path may be also a nice asddition to Greachan script, i didn't think about before writing this But back to this cool pack have you idea if could be batch converted in path (i.e. svg) I have a "export Svg path" script if could be useful |

PC there is a script out there on the registry named "Export_Layers". This script will export any group of layers as PNG, GIF,JPEG,BRUSHES,PATTERNS,SVG or any other file supported by GIMP. http://registry.gimp.org/node/28268 SEE ALSO - http://registry.gimp.org/search/node/export%20layers |

Use script-fu Graechan Font to Image Hose.scm 1. Open this *.gih in Gimp 2. Unfortunately export all layer as svg gives an error - never mind - there are no paths in the font .... So each layer 3. Alpha to selection 4. Selection to path ... when all ... 5. Export path (all) Svg file in the annex. Maybe when it is ready http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9446 it succeeds (points 3 and 4) in script-fu ...

I didn't know gimp could export SVG, i know could open but i didn't know about saving...i even installed a "export as SVG script" because i was thinking export as SVG missed i am going to have a look to the links Quote: 1.

Maybe when it is ready viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9446 it succeeds (points 3 and 4) in script-fu . i see , from the included zip that at the end worked so the correct sequence would be 1, 3,4,5 , because the most direct 12 doesn't work ? |

Yes - but if anyone write script (plugin.py) for all layers (3 Alpha is a selection -> 4 Selection is the path)? Maybe somehow batch? |

Oh well that would be cool I was hoping was a more direct approach...fonts (at least most fonts) are not already in a sort of vector format ? |

I tried the onlinefontconverter, unsuccessfully. How does it work? I tried to convert Script MT Bold Font to .svg. |

I think the question come by unconsciously moving around a invisible couple of " in the Title : if you read as -"Free speech" bubble fonts- you may even expect the font or the font publisher somehow supporting the right of free speech , and that obviously raises the big question "How " But if you read as- Free "speech bubble fonts" - as i suppose should be read, then question vanish. |

Returning to the issue of Carlos Diniz. I also tried - I downloaded svg - but it can not be opened in GIMP, Inscape and even FontForge! Does anyone know what the problem is ? I'm still convinced That this can be done in GIMP automatically (ttf-> svg) using the scipt (or plugin) - as can be "manually" - it's just a matter of goodwill experts writing programs! |

Post subject: | Re: Free speech bubble font |
I wonder if this http://registry.gimp.org/node/100 that extend a bit the capacity of export SVG may help. And if the case to try with inkscape: i almost lost with inkscape yet may be a very simple process and for sure inkscape handle better SVG Yesterday i stumble on amazing series of dingbats, perfect silhouettes but i don't handle well dingbat i don't even know how to find the correspondence with the letters, i think i would like more as brushes but i collected hundreds ,i can't do manually BTW Here a lot of cool dingbat (and fonts) http://www.iconian.com/ ...i was hooked to see all fonts and download most of them EDIT as far converting dingbat to gih , all solved thanks to Graechan "Font to Image Hose " script Not yet solved export as svg |

In this topic - my last opinion: Converting fonts (*. ttf to *. svg - of course, only if they are GPL) - is the way to many new capabilities. Only small problem - no one wants to write a script ...and be famous forever... And your opinion ? |
