I restored most of my scripts. I noticed that when I went into the script-fu console I had gotten errors and I have spent several hours pulling out all of the scripts that were throwing errors.

From C:\Users\PhotoMaster\.gimp-2.8\scripts, I have removed

24mhgrad.scm
DIEGO_draw-random-drops.scm
ev_iccii_photoeffects_24.scm
kp24_test_for_duplicate_scripts.scm
Pattern-from-Image.scm
Picture Frame.scm
sg-platonic-calendar.scm

From C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts, I have removed

animstack.scm
fil_current_pub_eng.scm
filltrans.scm
FU_edges_photo-border-fancy.scm
FU_sketch_lineart-toned.scm
grid-system.scm
guides-new.scm
iccii-convolution-presets.scm
images-grid-layout.scm
lasm-lab-color-punch.scm
lasm-lab-wow.scm
lasm-line-art.scm
palette-export.scm

This is the latest result. I will try restoring the files from C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts

I just restored the 13 scripts I removed and got the identical error.
I will try removing all of the C:\Users\PhotoMaster\.gimp-2.8\scripts scripts and see if I get anywhere there.

It actually works!! Now to restore scripts to find out which one is screwing things up.

Out of 316 scripts, these two are the culprits
l-system_v12.scm
turtle_v12.scm
I'll look at them to try to find the common problem.

Hi PhotoMaster.

l-system_v12.scm
turtle_v12.scm
It's a great script - but it works only in the old version of the GIMP 2.2.17

No takers for renovation.

@PhotoMaster
you mentioned among the filters which gave you errors using on the console my
DIEGO_draw-random-drops.scm
It's that it requires a set of available transparent drops, like:

Yes Photomaster remember to add pre requisites to your scm , and python filter additions. They should be listed in the post of any uploaded scripts at gimpscripts.com . If that is where you downloaded them from.
Glad to see you found the culprits. I suggest everyone to remove the turtle scripts if they have them installed in GIMP-2.8 versions.

I decided to try creating my own font. I think it came out pretty good. I named it "Moose" as my friends and family call me. I hope you like it!

Looks like a very nice font. Thank you. I downloaded it.

Thanks PhotoMaster! Glad to see another custom font maker among us.

Thank You!

Some sad fonts don't appear to play nicely with MareroQ's Font to Layers on post #1 and have clipped layers - usually noticeable on v, W, g, j and f. Think this is related to how the left and (more usually) the right bearings (margins) are determined in the original font file.

I have a customised version of Font-to-Layers that tries to address this problem (in a trial and error sort of way) by allowing you increase the size of the generated letter layers - unless MareroQ has already sorted this out in another version?

Forgot to show example:

Using Folks-heavy the current output for Font-to-Layers is:



Whereas it should look like this:

I have found a minor bug in this script.
And I also have a feature request.

The Bug:
If Merge Layers is unchecked, the Font Size in pixels is ignored. The default size of 250 pixels is always used.

The Request:
Is it possible to provide 3 small random movements
1) a vertical (up, down) movement
2) a horizontal (left, right) movement
3) an angular (+ or - x degrees)

This is so that images such as the one below can be produced.

Blighty II, I am interested in your request about a bit of movements on the position of letters if possible. Mostly it would be so nice on that kind of custom font.
Thanks. I hope someone of our code experts may do it. Thanks to them too.

Sorry to hijack this post but my filter - FontSlab - can at least do some of what you ask for as it stands Blighty. It does cater for random rotation (jitter in the dialog) and will allow you to alter size and use the letters as individual layers. If I remember properly this filter will always attempt to fill the path you give it with the custom font scaled to size to fit.

Example below with the letters of the word hot moved about. Not too time consuming for a smallish amount of text I would think.

Thank you so much Skinnyhouse. I have your FontSlab script but I'm not able to scroll to accept the settings at the bottom of the window.

Not sure what OS and flavour of Gimp you're using now Issabella but I thought you had used the scrolling interface with Gimp 2.8. I am Windows 10 64 bit home ed and using Gimp 2.10.4 (gimp.org). I have the scrolling interface that works with all versions of 2.10 so far.
