G.png is perfect! jk! I changed it to "custom font".

I reattached in my previous post and changed the post #1 to point to it.

You're right though it seems like magic now.

Just wish my other scripts could be in the same folder with it. :lol

As is i can only have this script in my scripts folder or it will not run. :hoh

I hope you'll find the culprit that interferes with my script ... soon. Then maybe we'll fix one of them even thought right now i have no idea what might cause my script to not work... I am pretty sure i don't depend on an existing script it's just does standard gimp procedure calls.

Trandoductin your script still needs a .xcf folder attached the ones I sent you were only the ones I had and checked for there quality, do you have more you can add

trandoductin · **Posted:** Tue Oct 04, 2016 12:25 am **(#231)**

I don't have anymore i can add i just download them from the first post when i need them. As they take a lot of work to create.

something to think about 'font size'
(set! final-width (car (gimp-text-get-extents-fontname text size size-type fontname)))
(set! final-height (cadr (gimp-text-get-extents-fontname text size size-type fontname)))

;;;;Scale Image to it's final size;;;;
(gimp-image-scale-full image final-width final-height 2)
if fonts were created at about 300 it would always be scaling down

That sounds great...because more people will run into these custom font images on google search ..and then they'll know about GIMP, and then they'll use GIMP ..and then we'll take over the world.

LOL! I figured out the error Tran!

I wasn't adding the "space.png" layer. Works excellent now.

Also creators of these XCF files should be sure the space.png is a smaller layer so each word is spaced correctly. I ended up dividing (re scaling) the "space.png" layer by 2 TWICE. This correctly spaced the words.

Oh yeah "space.png" or " .png" works.
I usually just copy the "A.png" then rename it to " .png" and then delete the content so that it's blank and it's all good.
