User scenarios Photographer (Annotations) choose alignment (justification (1 ), flush (2), center). set glyph scaling (vertical and horizontal) (2 values). + there are the script-specific features (also ~68) superscript: use to automatically access the superior figures (more legible than scaled figures). Some fonts include the historical forms as alternates, so they can be used for a 'period' effect. historical ligatures: Some ligatures were in common use in the past, but appear anachronistic today.

#GIMP HOW TO ADD BORDER TO TEXT SOFTWARE#
In order to compile a comprehensive list of what future text-handling in GIMP should include, we did a survey of other software packages in the field of GIMP.Īdditionally a review of current text-functionality in GIMP, its technical background as well as capabilities of current or future libraries has been done. super-fast workflow, when they are experienced.internationalisation of text handling, for all locales supported by unicode.
Minute control over typography and the layout of text on the canvas. Text in GIMP is both for reading and used as graphical shapes meta data in text-mark-up, semantics-are not supported. The canvas is not a page there is no such thing as paging in GIMP. Text in GIMP is always part of the composition-unless it is an annotation. Boiled down to the essence, the vision is as follows: We combined GIMP’s product vision with insight into the activity and needs of core GIMP users where it comes to text, and added into the mix GIMP’s roadmap (i.e. To guide all of the design work of this project, a vision was formulated for it. Examples of what this project addresses are: typographical control to the highest degree wrapping to paths arbitrary vector shapes for text boxes placement and stacking order of multiple text boxes within a layer. Going beyond just looking at the Text tool, this project is about the complete text handling in GIMP. 6.8.2 effects/transformation and boundaries. 6.8.1 font family and variant selection. 6.2.2 specific text-shape objects for complex shapes?. 5.2.4 transformations of text(-box) (e.g. 5.2.3 native font variant versus variant toggling (?faux). 5.2.2 font family and style/variant selection. 5.2.1 text along path and custom text-box shape.
