Getting started:
The default style is to add perspective without any rotation.
Open a custom font file in Gimp and run the filter with ‘Grab characters’ and ‘Merge grabbed characters’ set to ‘Yes’ to create a single layer with the chosen characters. Set the ‘Scaled grabbed characters’ option with a value of 60 percent. This will create a smaller image which will be quicker to render with perspective layers: Leave the other options at the default settings and click on ‘OK when ready’.
Add a path to your image with the Path Tool to define the line of perspective for the characters to follow.
