Outlined and filled in 3.0.6 - davidsk - 10-31-2025
I am struggling with the recently added ability to use outlined and filled text. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not. As I am a novice in GIMP, the problem may be me. That is, there may be something I am failing to do. I click the icon to insert text and with the 'Filled' option, the text is visible. Then, I click the 'Outlined and filled' and nothing happens. However, a few times this has worked. Is it an inconsistency, being a new feature, or is it an inconsistency of my being a new user? Any advice on this will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Windows 11, gimp 3.0.6-1 filled text work fine here. Maybe sometimes you use the the line width '0' (zero) or the filled text colour (here orange) the same as the background colour

See if you can make any sense of this two minute video. https://sendvid.com/1s0k1ah8
The only difference from a default Windows 11 - Gimp 3.0.6-1 is the light theme so you can see what is happening. It does depend on font and size. Small text - not so good.
