Custom Font Tools

[skinnyhouse]

Just a bump to say that if you want to use those custom font tools that use font selectors/gradient selectors/brush selectors with Gimp 2.10.18 you will need to use the SamJ Portable version of Gimp. When installed and first run (takes longer the first time) open Edit>>Preferences and look for the Folders tab. Click on this tab and add your existing plug-ins folder to the list.

Release 11 (to update a number of Font Tool plug-ins and add two new utilities):

One that I forgot to update - the kerning utility for non-English accented characters now also creates kerning paths for Polish characters from related English letters.

Release 10 (including the guide) updates the relevant tools (most of them) for using unicode symbol characters.

Custom Font Tools R9b with Guide.zip #

A bug-fix for the kerning tool filters: Lower-case and Upper-case to lower-case filters that did not take account of negative inputs with letter groups. The affected filters are denoted as versions 0.02b. Everything else remains the same as in Release 9.

After a re-think I have decided to put all future releases of Custom Font Tools updates in this one place. The zipped folders will contain all of the current Tool plug-ins for new users. Existing users can just take out the ones they require.

Download, de-compress and copy what you need to your Gimp user plug-in folder.
