I'm a newbie trying to use a tattoo font but don't know how to do it, I downloaded it an unzipped it
now I'm trying to use it in a GIMP2 program and only letters show up.
thanks

a and it. That helps. Anyway, what isn't there doesn't show.

What the font you choise ?
Have you install it ? http://www.dafont.com/faq.php#win

Put in on the "Fonts" folder in the /Windows/ folder. It's easy ;-)

This sort of 'advice' meow you will find all over the place, something like the blind telling the lame what is to see at the top of the cliff.
I know it is difficult - if not almost impossible - to play the game according to the rules but for once try. Install the font. Properly install
