Just looking at this post: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20664&start=60#p305456 and wondering.

Custom fonts are not something I use very often. Sometimes a bespoke birthday card, often using one of Issabellas excellent early font files.

I can and do run a Gimp 2.10 but maybe someone can update for Gimp 3. I ran Tin Trans original script-fu through Claude AI for a Gimp 3 version. The result does work although easy to crash, for example using characters that do not exist in the xcf custom font file (typically missing lower case) locks the script.

Combining those separate rar files? It is possible to extract and combine with a bit of editing.

This one for example:

Come on Gimp users, some clever people here, get coding. Gimp 3 custom-font-banner.scm attached
