Often when I put a document on the photocopier for scanning I don't get it exactly level for various reasons. How ca I straighten it out in GIMP? If I can't get it aligned right my cropped image comes out skewed. See the two attached examples.
In Gimp 2.10 (at least 2.10.6 IIRC) , you can use the Measure tool for this; drag a line along the baseline of a text line and hit the "straighten" button in the Tool options dialog, to make that horizontal (or vertical, whichever is closer).

Nice !
I tried this with text. It adds a bit of antialiasing to the the edges.
Same with the Rotate Tool (and the NoHalo algorithm).
All very good, but it is not available in Gimp 2.8
