Thanks for your reply. I added the /usr/local/gimp-1.2.3/freefont/ directory to the fs/config file (which points to the one in /etc/X11/fs) and rebooted my entire system. I still get just a minimal set of fonts. So something else is not kosher. I checked permissions etc. but found no problems there. I tried as a regular user and as root.
