Anybody else use gimp?

[Pornographic Panda]

I use gimp 2.6, does anybody else use it?
I may need someone who is experienced with it to help me out.
I stopped using gimp for a while, now I can't figure out how to use it to save my life!

No, it's not the art. It's the font and text

I'm not sure if they use gimp. And it's not a certain font, it is a gimp technique used on the font. I will find someone else who might know.

to outline anything, you right-click on it`s layer, then hit alpha to selection.
make a new layer under what you`re outlining.
switch to the paint bucket tool, and have your colour ready.
then go to select > grow.
put your specified pixel growth, then hit OK. (people usually put 1-4.)
then click on your blank layer,
and ta - daaaaaaaa ~
you have a border!
