Hello,
since 1.1.17 (maybe before and maybe the gimp version is unrelated to the
problem) the gdyntext-plugin produces no result. Oh it produces a new
but just too small layer with the necessary parasites -- but the text isn't
visible.
I have tested:
o gimp-1.0.4 with gdyntext-1.4.1 that goes well in the past so this looks
like some changes in the environment
o gimp-1.1.1[789] with the packaged gdyntext and the actual gdyntext 1.4.4
dircet from the authors website
o disable the ttf-fontserver (xfsft-1.1.6)
xset -fp tcp/localhost:7100
xset fp rehash
o running gdyntext with "-DDEBUG" enabled gives
GDT: space width = 2
GDT: 34x 5 A: 4 D: 1 [Hallo Welt!]
GDT: MH:5 LH:4
My system:
linux-2.2.1[14]
xfree86-3.3.5
glibc-2.1.2
gcc-2.95.[12]
xfsft-1.1.6 only for ttf -- x-fonts and typ1 through the X-Server
gtk+-1.2.7
The (script-fu gimp_text_get_extends ...) given on the console shows a
resonable behaviour.
Yours
