Custom Font on Path Script for GIMP.

trandoductin · **Posted:** Thu Feb 23, 2017 1:04 am **(#1)**

This script works with other Custom Fonts.
Just a warning it'll only look for ' .png' (that's a space then .png), not 'space.png'.... so if you have .xcf files that have space.png please rename them to ' .png'

Script did not change lower case to upper case when no lower case was in file e.t.c., it still needs some goodies added

Totally surprised you didn't just add this to the current custom_font.scm script but hey this is a great idea Tran!

I concur with Graechan on the caps though. I had to use all small case letters. Symbols work okay though. :bigthup

Really useful. Well done.
Text box is visible only as a thin line. I entered text by guess.

Graechan, thanks for mentioning about the upper/lower case
I added in release 2 and while i was at it added to look for 'space.png' or ' .png' as well so previously created .xcf font files don't have to be edited.

PS. thanks for trying version 1 out people. it's nice to see many results.

I didn't want to change the dirty looking .scm file, it would be more work trying to add to or change the .scm ... Starting a new .py file would be less effort.
It wasn't my idea to create this script. It was Pat625 who requested it.

Don't forget to thank ofnuts for his angle calculation from 2 points and slope formula.
I stole that piece of code for this script to rotate the characters to be perpendicular to path. hehe

Thank you very much, Ofnuts for your angle calculation code for Tran's Script!!

Rel2, a definite Improvement, and as for the copied code ofnuts would agree that there's no use reinventing the wheel :hehe
