Hi Everyone, Remembering some chatter recently about getting fonts to work with Gimp, I thought I would post this to the list. It seems to me that the question of fonts continually come up about fonts in Gimp, so one would think that something is posted on the Gimp site to help resolve this. Now this only applies to Gimp 1.3.x, so will be no help in 1.2.x, I don't believe. This comes from one of the developers of Gimp. He is also on the Gimp mail list, which provides many helpful answers to using Gimp. ------------------------------ On Wed, 2003-08-13 at 15:57, Nick Wilson wrote
I've been trying to get freefont and sharefont to show up in gimp 1.3.17 and try as I might, I have to conceed defeat.
GIMP-1.3 uses fontconfig (http://fontconfig.org/) for font configuration. All you need to do is to add the directories with fonts to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf or ~/.fonts.conf. Sven ================ Hope that helps some here that have been having some problems with fonts in Gimp.
