You have to remember that 2.7 is a "test" version with all the whistles and alarm on. In 2.8 these messages won't happen, since 2.8 will accept the 2.6 calls without a peep.

In the meantime, if you use the Error console dialog, these messages will go there and won't slow down the script. The script creates one path per character, plus one for the full string.

Woo Hoo. good for you, y'all got it. What did you do different?

I used 2.7.6 and ignored the error messages. I still wish it would work with 2.6.11 though. Still, at least I can use it now. Many thanks Ofnuts!

I am using it with 2.6.11 and it is working fine now that I downloaded the second edition of the plug-in 0.1

I'm using 0.1 too. I tried it in my user folder, in all users folder and in the main Gimp folder but it just won't read it. The script is fine and my computer's fine, otherwise it wouldn't work in 2.7.6. Gimp 2.6.11 is a fresh install after a fresh python install. I've tried everything I can think of.

you are jinxed

I reckon you're right!
