  80.       There are many things you can do to vary the appearance of text beyond
  81.       just rendering it with different fonts or different colors. By
  82.       converting a text item to a selection or a path, you can fill it, stroke
  83.       the outlines, transform it, or generally apply the whole panoply of
  84.       GIMP tools to get interesting effects. As a demonstration of some of the
  85.       possibilities, try out the "logo" scripts in the Toolbox menu, at
  86.       <span class="guimenu">Xtns</span> ‚Üí <span class="guisubmenu">Script-Fu</span> ‚Üí <span class="guisubmenu">Logos</span>.
  87.       Each of these scripts allows you to enter some text, and then creates
  88.       a new image showing a logo constructed out of that text. If you would
  89.       like to modify one of these scripts, or construct a logo script of your
  90.       own, the <a class="link" href="gimp-concepts-script-fu.html" title="2.¬† Using Script-Fu Scripts">Using Script-Fu</a>

  93.       sections should help you get started. Of course, you don't need
  94.       Script-Fu to create these sorts of effects, only to automate them.
