Re: Can't edit text in custom HQ cards using GIMP

I have used the card editor program and added pictures in the past. Follow the following steps for easy home made pictures on the cards.
1.) Make sure they are the correct size. (Don't know if this is necessary but I did it so you should too)
2.) Save the picture in the card directory in the card creator directory, and take note of the name that you saved it as
3.) Use the noted name in your card spreadsheet
4.) Export awesome looking cards because that program is awesome.

(Note: The card editor isn't working for me anymore, so I am currently using GoogleDraw and it actually isn't that bad. The fonts are wrong but on a whole not evil.)

Grr, I hate it when I get confused. Which means I am in a rather constant state of hate. :D

Here's a jump on your search: http://forum.yeoldeinn.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=2446&p=40889&hilit=heroquest+fonts#p40889 There's a better post by drathe somewhere where he included which font goes where, but I gotta go to work.
