GIMP for Mac help

[Oscarfan]

For some reason, on my Mac, in GIMP, when I try to create a path from the text to outline it, it only selects a small portion of the text instead of the whole piece. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can probably help, but I am not quite sure I get what is happening

You are using the paths tool, right? I don't understand what you mean by it is selecting a portion of text

Like this image:

It only will create a path for half of the text instead of all of it.

I now understand what you are doing at least. Unfortunately, I don't use Gimp to outline text, so I really don't know what the problem could be. Maybe try to do it in segments?

Or I could just add the text for you in a program that actually has text outlines :/
