It is pretty likely Windows doesn't delete fonts, but marks them as hidden. This may not be reflected in the list of fonts available to GIMP, if fontconfig - the library used to list and categorize fonts - either does not support this yet, or is not configured to do so. We got a similar bug report about fonts not being used due to language settings: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641808 What we need is for someone using the affected platform (or caring very much about it) to figure out how fontconfig can be made to honor these settings and/or the font state (i.e. them being hidden or not, respectively). This could be a configuration setting, or may require a code change in this library. Blacklisting arbitrary fonts based on some of their feature is possible, so this might be a matter of finding something these fonts have in common that is also recognized and understood by fontconfig. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
