Issue with GIMP scripts - Debian Trixie
2026-03-14 22:06 UTC
Hi, all. I’m trying to use the logo creator scripts in GIMP under Debian Trixie. Standard apt install, using Debian sources, including gimp-data-extras, which is the package with the scripts. The packages are all up to date.
When I try to run any of the logo scripts, I get an error message like this:
Execution error for ‘Alien Glow’:
Error: eval: unbound variable: gimp-text-fontname
I’ve done some searching, and the results all say things like, “Oh, your script is missing…” or something like that. But it’s not my script, it’s a standard script with GIMP. All of the logo scripts give this error, on two different computers (both with Debian Trixie).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

It's having an issue with a value. This explains it so I don't need to write a novel: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6756 Some of the default values in Gimp Scripts are bad, and it's kind of a crapshoot.
