i wonder if Filters ->Render ->Dynamic Text or if you were to install the gimp-freetype plug-in (found at http://freetype.gimp.org -- be sure to get the tar ball and not the cvs branch!!) if these two methods of rendering fonts might work better from a remote machine.
text tool sucks, imo. it "hints" by rendering the font 3 times bigger than requested and reducing the size. personally, i haven't hit the button with the big T on it for a couple of years by now ... good luck also, interesting way to play with gimp .... carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
