Also if you can answer that and know how to get new fonts onto it too that would be great.

Answer 1

Click file, then open.

Answer 2

That's just the toolbox. Click File, then New, or Open, depending on whether you're starting a new project or resuming an old one.

Answer 3

if you want the layer box, go to file, dialogs, create new dock, and layer channel and paths. that should be it, if you need more help email me!

as for new fonts, first you go find them (dafont.com, deviantart.etc.) click download, once you have them, *note* i only know how to do this for windows-----

go to my computer, control panel, fonts, and then drag your font into that folder. good luck ^^

Answer 4

GIMP is a piece of c**p.
