Gimp 2.0 help

Post by darthdavid »

I often need to make text in my images. The gimp 2.0 text tool seems to be execptionally crappy. I say this because the font picker is broken, and there's no way to pick text size. Is there actually a way to pick text size or am I just fucking stupid? Please help me before I go postal. It's driving me nuts. Also, if the text tool really is as bad as it seems, can someone point me to an alternative text tool plugin i could utilize?

:shock:

The text tool works fine for me. Could you post a pic of your text dialogue box, just to see if we're not getting the same options or whatever?
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
