custom font output problems[solved]

Wed Oct 21, 2020 12:09 am

GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
custom font



I have a folder with 346 custom fonts and I want to create a batch file to run each one with the text "Aa" as below and save each image to a folder with it's original xcf name for easy comparison of fonts, I might even put them all on the one image with the 'Roller plugin'

Image

but after I run custom font I am left with an image and layer without names so I tried to use (gimp-image-list) but hit a brick wall

> (gimp-image-list)
(1 #(2))
> (cadr (gimp-image-list))
#(2)
I can't get (set! img 2)

In my set of custom font tools there is a folder utility that generates png thumbnails for custom fonts. The code, although in python, may contain something you can use in scheme. Link here:

Custom Font Tools Release 12

It currently generates an image according to the rules:

'Ab' image when detecting upper-case and lower-case characters.
'AB' image when detecting only upper-case characters.
