Description
Many Indie Authors are using GIMP instead of Photoshop, and that means we deal with text design. The GIMP program is notorious fro crashing when working with text. I have heard some developers or gimpians say that it must be because i have too many fonts--well Indie authors and publisher MUST HAVE MANY FONTS> and since you are competing with Photoshop, i would think this could be addressed. I don't expect anyone to care, as this continues to happen over and over and people complain but are only given a cursory dismissal. Please, can't someone upgrade the interface, or whatever it's called, that deals with handling fonts and text? This program is an excellent alternative to Photoshop, bit this one thing make is insufferable.
