Really a neat font, Wallace. You and Tran came up with a great script. I'm amazed.

Only additional information (at the design stage):

For recording layers as png, you can use:
Export layers:

https://github.com/khalim19/gimp-plugin-export-layers

But first you have to get rid of special characters (and ensure the return of the characters after the opening of the files as layers).

Based on the idea by Paynekj:

http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=985#p10807

simple plugin automatic rename for pre-export (chars -> name) and post opening (name -> chars)
and also remove unnecessary characters (1) - because, for example:
Layer A = a.png
Layer a = a (1) .png
In the menu Gimp (toolbox) Layers -> Renaming Layers

when a path is defined for a letter, it uses canvas's width to calculate offset... this goes out of wack when canvas is larger than layers or if layers themselves are offset differently.
So i fixed this and make it move offsets based on layer's width and path's relative position to layer's offset rather than path's absolute position.

This is version 9 of script

I also noticed you've defined a period.
Yeh i can put my shameless plug here.


The font is really nice, close up isn't it?
my secret message.

this font makes me think of an old

Completely mechanically:
Font arial + custom-font-composition + 3D Extrusion (v2.3)

Now that looks like an awesome lego font, MareroQ.

I thought no one would use that composition one.

i don't know how many times i downloaded this script PLEASE allow users to download the final script in the first post. If you did this already ignore my ranting. This is a phenomenal work Tran! I will keep my bitfonter software in case anyone wants to still use fontlabs adobe plug-in (photofont start). But looks like there really is no need for it now.
So now all you need to do is grab an image of letters, extract them from the image with G'MIC ... and run your script Tran. NICE!

I can't remember are the instructions for creating the xcf on the first post? Does each layer have to be a certain name? a.png, b.png ect...

Anyways nicely done.

I am getting this error running the script. I am using Wallaces ole wood xcf.

Custom Font Warning

where is link to wallace's .xcf I want to run it myself and see what's wrong it's been a while since i've done anything with this script

I'd help out,
if I knew what xcf file it is that you're looking for?

it's whichever one that Rod mentioned before my last post. I don't know which one he's talking about
