Fixes occasional mis-rotation of letters (well so far).





The zipped folder contains the plugin and its associated joined-up fonts (no changes from version 2.09), together with some gradients that I made to illustrate this update.

Download and install the plugin to your plugin folder. Install the fonts into your gimp fonts folder if you need them. If you wish to use the gradients in your own projects copy them into your gimp gradients folder.

No changes have been made to the filter dialog box since the last version.
