Hi,

My only problem with using image utils under linux was the lack of 
available typefaces. Do you know of any programs that can perhaps convert 
Windows TTF's or Mac fonts to a X font? (Okay, thing's may have changed, 
it's been well over 12 months since I've even delved into the lovely world 
of X).

I do however agree with you, The GIMP does wonderful stuff, though if you 
are a diehard Photoshop user, the interface takes a lot of getting used to. 
The best comparison for this would be a Photoshop user trying to use 
Paintshop Pro (im sure most have done at one stage or another).

Regards
Michael.
