Just a suggestion (and possibly a stupid one), but ISTM that it would be nice if there were script-fu scripts for the buttons and other images with text in them.
this is a good suggestion, and probably doable for certain charsets (perhaps all the latin languages). For some charsets the baseline may need to be adjusted manually, or a different font/font size will need to be used, so this cannot be completely automated. However, for the *-top.inc menu that Paul took out from the French translation, I do intend to write some script-fu (perhaps plus some Perl glue) some time; it would be unthinkable to manually generate 30 almost-identical gif files from xcf, esp. when layers need to be moved several times for every file being generated. Even if it is not possible to completely automate this process, it must at least be semi-automated. :-) The only problem with script-fu is that it seems to change with the gimp version. (My script-fu scripts broke when I upgraded from gimp 1.0 to 1.2, some long time ago. So when gimp 1.4 comes out, they will probably break again...) So perhaps we need to (also?) document how the gif files were generated. -- Ambrose LI Cheuk-Wing <a.c.li@ieee.org>
