The GIMP is an image manipulation program suitable for photo retouching,image composition and image authoring. Many people find it extremely useful in creating logos and other graphics for web pages. The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo. This version of The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP ftpsite has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented in the package. Get ftp://ftp.gimp.org/ pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gzand ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts /sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are soinclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts.
