Can anyone give me some pointers on getting GIMP to handle TTFonts under SuSE 7.3?
There seems to nothing special to do, for TTFonts it just works. There are problems with Bitmap fonts and some Type1 fonts, but I never encountered problems with TrueType fonts in Gimp.

Your (Mike Fabian's) site got me up to speed. www.suse.com/~mfabian/suse-cjk/installing-tt-fonts-X11.html I also removed spaces & made everything lowercase in the filenames as per this link... http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jkoeke_truetype.html All the new TTFont names show up in GIMP. The TTFonts that work, work very well, but the majority of the fonts give me the following error when I try add text with the 'text' tool: Font '<font name>' not found. I've been searching the net for some clues... but I have yet to stumble upon an answer. Any one have this problem before?
