Quote: have just upgraded to 2.10.14 version and weird thing happen :/ I have problems with selecting text in previously created text layers When i try to modify such text gimp changes font size so when I start type additional text whole text changes size.
This happens when the font used in the Gimp xcf file is no longer available. Might have been removed or the file was created on a different computer. There is also another cause, Gimp 2.10 no longer recognises the old Type 1 fonts, ttf and otf are OK. Try and edit the text and it reverts to the system default, usually Sans.
Quote:When I export to pdf some texts are different size than on my project, some texts are to large and they do not fit and brake to more lines. Another weird thing is that jpg is exporting correctly.
The Gimp 2.10 PDF export is a bit of a mess. The developers have 'improved' it by keeping text as text, but not a full implementation where the font metrics are also embedded in the file. Open in your computer which has the font files available OK, some other computer without the font files and the text reverts to system default, usually Sans.
The solution is to convert the text layers to bitmap, (either lose the text property or flatten the image) before exporting to PDF. That is also the reason the jpg is correct.
