I swear, "text to path" is nowhere on my text toolbar. There is, however a button that reads, "Create path from text" in said toolbar. I've clicked it and messed with stuff, but haven't had any success there either. Nothing I've done has turned my text purple as shown in this tutorial. I'm running GIMP 2.2.1.7... if that helps. Thanks for your prompt reply... maybe we'll get it this time...
yeah, still lost...
