Hi,
I installed a TTF font yesterday and it was recognised in GIMP, this is how I did it:
--> Power up 'KDE Control Center'. --> Select 'System' - 'Font Installer' from the left panel. --> Click the 'Administrator Mode' button. --> Enter your root password. --> Note: The border will change red indicating you are in administrator mode. --> Make sure you are in the 'Fonts' tab. --> Select the 'Change Folder' button on the left section. --> Navigate to the directory where the "*.ttf *.TTF *.pfa *.pfb *.PFA *.PFB" files that you want to install are located. --> Select the folder (Do NOT seclect the individual files). --> The system will scan that directory and display all valid fonts in that window. --> Select the font and click the 'Install' button. --> The font will then be installed. --> Click the 'Apply' button and exit 'KDE Control Center'. --> Start or Restart GIMP and your font will be there.
Hope this helps. Q
Hi Quinton, Thanks for the info but I have all ready have done that and all the Truetypes are available on all KDE applications but the GTK apps (Galeon, Gimp, Gnumeric) do not show any of the Truetype fonts being available. By any chance do you have Gnome Desktop installed or a package called gdkxtt? Thanks, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
How do you get Gimp to recognise truetype fonts using the KDE Desktop. All my KDE apps work with trutype fonts but I cannot get any Gnome based app to use the truetype fonts I have installed.
I tried installing gdkxft but I cannot seem to get it working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using SuSE 8.0.
