Small caps plugin for GIMP

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5456 / 2 Years ago, sun, april 17, 2022, 4:59:12

Is there a way to create small caps in GIMP?

There was a reference to Freetext.org at GIMPTalk, but the plugin doesn't exist. I've installed Freetext on my computer, but don't know how to proceed to make it work with GIMP. Is there a file I should copy to some GIMP directory?

There was also a reference to a small caps plugin, but that doesn't seem to be available anymore.

The FreeType GIMP plugin has been officially discontinued, so the only way to type in small caps in the GIMP is to use a small caps font variant such as Delicious SmallCaps:

Sadly, there isn't any better solution at this time. While it appears that there was a preliminary version of a Script-Fu script for generating small caps posted in 2005, it is no longer available.
