GIMP Plugin Registry

I would just add that instead of saving/restoring the foreground and background colors, one can use gimp-context-push and gimp-context-pop (this will also restore pattern, gradient, palette, font, and brush settings to their original state).

I made a small hack to the plug-in to enable it to use other fonts. Just make these changes:

Make your definitions like this:

def python_bumptext(image, drawable, text, fontname, fontsize, blur, depth, x, y, rotation, invert):

Comment out the following:

    #split the font size from the name
    #font = re.search("(.*) (\d+)", font)
    #fontname = font.group(1)
    #fontsize = font.group(2)

Add the following PF_FLOAT parameter (note its place in the list & leave out the <------):

    (PF_STRING, "text", "Text to bump", "Bump Me"),
    (PF_FONT, "font", "Choose Font", 'Arial'),
    (PF_FLOAT, "size", "Size of Font", 36.0),  <-------
    (PF_INT, "blur", "Text blur", '5'),
    (PF_INT, "depth", "Depth", '3'),
    (PF_INT, "x", "Text X Placement", '0'), 
    (PF_INT, "y", "Text Y Placement", '0'),
    (PF_SLIDER, "rotation", "Text Rotation", 0, [-180, 180, .5]),
    (PF_TOGGLE, "invert", "Invert", 0)

That gives you the ability to adjust font size.

Just one small problem when making a Font selection, if you click the Font choice on the menu and decide to keep the original font, it will throw a layer error on the image, and not complete. Just undo the current process and start all over.

I understand the need to separate font size from font name (font widget string format), but I have no idea why font.group has no attributes, even tried to figure out how it would even work without them. I guess that's for the author to explain.

Enjoy!
