Custom Font Tools Release 18 for Gimp 2.10

Skinnyhouse · **Posted:** Sat Apr 11, 2026 2:24 am **(#1)**

This release gathers up all the updates since Release 17 and places them in one location.
It includes new guides, where appropriate, as well as copies of the those plug-in and guides which have not been updated so that folk do not have to look in different locations.
Let me know if there are any glaring errors. :roll:

The Tools are available in compressed folders and organised into Custom Font categories for you to download and place in your Gimp 2.10 user plug-ins folder: There are no kerning tools in this release.

I was looking at this one and trying to think what the texture reminded me of.
Carved ivory or bone perhaps. Yours is way more environmentally friendly!

If you mean Linux, Norseman, I believe so.
Windows here.

They do work with Linux. But need GIMP 2.10 with Python2(!) support.
