Hey all. I found a nice free Lorem Ipsum Generator for creating nice dummy text for draft web layouts.
You can download the setup here.
Because of malware being found in SourceForge downloads, this link has been removed.

I have been trying to get it to work with a python module like font switch so the program can be called from within GIMP but no luck. Here is the trace back error i keep getting.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lipsum.py", line 179, in ?
  File "lipsum.py", line 175, in main
  File "wx\_core.pyc", line 5577, in __init__
  File "wx\_core.pyc", line 5229, in _BootstrapApp
  File "lipsum.py", line 16, in OnInit
  File "lipsum.py", line 27, in initLipsumFrame
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'SetIcon'



Pretty nifty little program though. :)

You can also create your own XML generators. Open the lipsums folder and inside you will find all the text xml files. Open one in your Notepad editor and just change the information (title, text and author). Save as a new (change the name), xml file and re-open Lipsum program to see yours in the drop down list. :)
I made two one is Latin and one is Meat lovers. :lol

If there is interest i will attach them here.

Nice Rod , Here are two Lorem brushes (gih) I made earlier if you just want to do a 1 or 2 liner. Not as good as a filler program but may do the trick for a small fill.

Yep and i couldn't get that plugin to run. i probably could get it to run in my mingw install of gimp because it installed fine there (the generator not the plugin).
You see you need both the plugin py module and the generator, but the generator only comes as src. :)
I was able to compile it for mingw and install it there.
First you have to install ez_setup.py (setuptools)
python ez_setup.py

Then the generator. :)
python setup.py install

I don't use the gimp-2.8 in that directory though i use my installed version (C:\Program Files). All i use the mingw version for is to compile plugins against. :bigthup
