High quality results need painting by hand. Now you can pull your dissected curves over from Inkscape and stroke them with whichever brush you'd like. I've been left with these two Īt this point if you were using Photoshop or Illustrator you could stroke whichever curve you prefer with a brush that you like, and be ready to dissect the next letter on your list, but since I'm stuck using Inkscape there aren't really any brushes to use here, so I'd set the stroke thickness and endcaps I like and call it a day.Īpparently you can import curves into GIMP by right clicking in the Paths Palette clicking Import Path and selecting an. Now that you've broken the letter down, you should be left with a curve (or several) which may or may not vaguely resemble your desired output (very few letters will be as easy as this one has been). Then split the outline using the edit paths tool selecting two points near where you'd imagine the start and end of the stroke you'd like would be, and press break path at selected nodes on the bottom toolbar, and Path > Break Apart (Shift + Ctrl + K), and finally Ungroup the resulting curves with Object > Ungroup (Shift + Ctrl + G) Your best bet here is to find a particularly light font (I'm using InkScape and Segoe Script for this example), outline it by selecting Path > Object to Path or entering Shift + Ctrl + C with the text selected
Long answer: Maybe, if you're willing to put in quite a lot of work, and it's probably still going to look a bit off. Fonts are typically defined by the collection of curves that make up their outline, so there's no perfect single curve there to stroke with a brush.
