![]() Once GIMP’s stuff has all loaded, you can open the PDF as an image. ![]() Once the font is chosen, type in the text and highlight it, center it, and make the font size large enough that it stretches from border to border. We’ll use that one for the example, and I’ll explain why shortly. ![]() Any font installed on your computer will work, and there are literally thousands of fonts you can download from the internet and install in a few seconds. First, open your word processor and choose the font you want. Say you wanted to use the above image (a 35 mm slide I took in 1974 and digitized with a cheap plastic slide viewer, a phone, a rubber band, and adhesive tape) and add “your move” in the upper left hand corner of the image. GIMP can import them as images, and it does an excellent job of it. Today’s word processors can all write PDF files, both closed source commercial word processors and open source tools. The workaround is easy: don’t use GIMP for text. Rather than use fonts installed in the computer’s operating system, it has its own, very limited set of fonts, and no way to exactly position your text. When text is needed in an image, GIMP is indeed gimpy. The GNU Image Manipulation Program is an excellent free and open source graphics program that will do almost anything you want to a bitmap image.Īlmost.
