GIMP FreeType Plug-In

A plug-in for GIMP that renders text using the excellent FreeType library.

Note

The FreeType Plug-In is not being developed further, nor is it actively maintained. We believe that the GIMP text tool has become sufficiently good so that there's not any longer a need for this plug-in.

Features

Supports Truetype, Type1 and other font formats supported by the Freetype library
Kerning
Hinting
Letter Spacing
Rotation, Scaling, Shearing
Creation of Bezier Paths

Download

The source code of GIMP FreeType lives in CVS. You can download a tarball of the latest release for GIMP 2.0.

If you are looking for the plug-in for GIMP 1.2, you can download an older version.
