I don't think KDE and GIMP do not share fonts in anyway. As far as I can tell there are two ways to use ttf fonts with the GIMP on a UNIX box. The first and probably the best way is to let X11 handle it. The problem with this is I be dammed if I can get it to work on a Debian machine. Nor can I find any one that seems to have the definitive answer on how to make it work. The second way is to install the FreeType Plug-in like you mentioned, this does not interact with the text tool though. It is a separate plug-in under Filters->Render->Free Type I think. It has a few issues to work out but all in all it seems too work well. This is what I wound up doing and I have not had any trouble with it. In fact if there was a way to do it I would just make it my default text tool, it would be more efficient.

I recently installed several .ttf fonts using KDE's Font Installer. I did this specifically so that I could utilize them with Gimp. They are working just fine in X11/KDE but I cannot get them to list in the Gimp's font-list. I've searched everywhere (including this list's archive) for a fix and the only thing I could find was a site that suggested installing the freetype-0.2 mod? I did this and the install went just fine (after i linked gtk12-config to gtk-config) but these new fonts are still not showing in Gimp. I'm sure that I'm just missing something here (maybe a line in gimprc) but I can't seem to figure out what. Is there anyone on this list that might have experience with this who could help me out?
