262525 2004-08-17 09:14:00 Hi all. Today I installeed The GIMP on my computer. To test it out, I made a few Ranks for a forum I often visit, and it's working great so far :). But I've got a few questions.

1. If I use the text tool, how can I have different letters have different colours?

2. I have a few pistures I want to remove the background from (Make it Transparent instead of white). How can I do this?

3. Whenever I scroll down the list of fonts, I get a Command Prompt window complining about the fonts. All of them work OK though. This also happens when I try to save a Transperent GIF. Any Ideas?

Thanks, MM

GIMP tells you not to install number 2 on windows 98 (or ME for that matter), I have GIMP 1.2 and it goes great on Windows 98.

262529 2004-08-18 05:18:00 Version 2.02 has apparantly fixed some problems with that command prompt window.

Apparantly it helps a lot, when you install the GTK( is this what its called?) pack, you get an option to use windows themes or something, press no, or select the original GIMP theme.

I say apparently, because I havn't tried them.

1. You can do your text, then click something like, convert text to path, and then fill in each letter a different colour. I dont really know, but that would work. Probably an easier way if you ask an expert.
