The "Dynamic Text" tool also works well with Windows fonts on Linux.

hi,
i have had a heck of a time with fonts.
for gimp-1.2 i suggest getting the gimp-freetype plug-in from
http://freetype.gimp.org get 0.2. there is a configure button there
that will find the fonts for you (i bet).
i have yet to find ttf with the other text tools in gimp-1.2.
good luck
carol
