Just for clarification, this is with the "Script-Fu" > "Alpha to Logo" > "Alien Glow" thingy. I noticed there is another copy of it with slightly different parameters in "Xtns" > "Script-Fu" > "Logos" which seems to work just fine. It asks you to input the text and font to create the logo from, and creates an entirely new unnamed document. (It doesn't allow you to specify the radius of the glow, but calculates a suitable radius on the fly.)
It appears that the erroneous procedure corresponds to the function "script-fu-alien-glow-logo-alpha" in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/alien- glow-logo.scm but I don't really pretend to understand how this works. If I'm correct then "script-fu-alien-glow-logo" without the "-alpha" suffix should be more correct, but from there, it's still not obvious to me what should be changed or where. -- "Alien Glow" effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
