I'm trying to get ttf fonts to work with gimp, but it seems like most of the fonts that my users want to use are causing the "This is a 2-byte font and may not display correctly." message to appear. The "may not display" in the message seems to consistantly translate into "renders in image as a tiny ugly font like the Windows System font". Is there any workaround for this? We're using gimp 1.2.3 on RedHat 8.0.
I've searched the web for hours and submitted a bug to Red Hat ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80024 which includes a detailed way to reproduce the problem.) all without coming up with anything. I'm not afraid of cvs, compiling, patching, converting the fonts somehow, or whatever, but I have no idea why it's happening or where to begin. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. -- </chris> Programming is a Dark Art, and it will always be.
