I wanted to try and create a filter to help showcase some of the amazing custom fonts that people like Alan and GJL produce weekly, if not daily, on GimpLearn: Some of their results are like miniature works of art.

This plug-in will take text (short messages are ideal) and display it a number times across an image using a selection of custom fonts from a designated folder. The text can be displayed horizontally, vertically or diagonally. There are also options to adjust the spacing between characters, to add a basic drop shadow and to shuffle the order of the layers.

Download, unzip and put the filter in your usual user plug-ins folder.
