Extract Text from text file script? - Zero01 - 05-02-2020

I had a text file extracting script at one point, lost it now but I seem to remember there were a lot of options including which font, fontsize/colour, margins etc to use to display it in Gimp, very handy script, but unable to locate - hoping someone out there knows what I mean and has a copy/link to download - Thanks a lot

Extracting text from what?

Maybe just the information when the font is no longer available

One of Ofnuts plugins: text-info-0.1.py  from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/  about half way down the list.

Using the term 'extracting' loosely here..
From a text file (.txt format) on the users hard drive, basically whatever the text is in the file is transformed to whichever font you choose, font size/colour, other text parameters etc and presented on the canvas.

Nothing to do with information Rich, thanks anyhow.

That is a better description Wink

That's it! Yes, maybe 'Import' was a better description than 'Extract', but you got my drift thankfully! Cheers Smile
