Hi all,
Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no?
end of line Tracer
Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash
Put an extra line in /etc/XF86Config something like the myfonts line here. JDL

I sent an e-mail to feedback@suse.de asking if it was at all possible to include an rpm of the extra fonts the gimp has on it's sites. Sure would be nice.
