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 On Wed, 2002-08-21 at 05:09, Graham Smith wrote:
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.
