Hi Marc,

I just tried The Gimp again.

Problems; I could not get it to select the font I want. No problem with PS.

2) I simply refused to place the text on the image I wanted to write on. A 
similar problem with PS, but not nearly as bad. I can live with the PS error. 
See the placement of the txt in the Autumn button on this page - I could not 
get PS to lower it a bit.

With The Gimp I couldn't even get the txt ON the background - it was all 
away off in never never land.

Brian
