Now all that seems to have gone.
In gimp 2.2, if you don't necessarily want the fonts installed on the whole system (i.e. the fonts will only work in gimp), then you could just put the fonts in a directory (ex. /home/gezim/fonts/) then start gimp and go to "File>Preferences" (in the main window) then on the left hand side, click the arrow beside "Folders" (this will expand the "Folders"). Finally, click on "Fonts". Now on the right half of the window, click the plus sign, then in the text field enter the location of the font's folder or click "..." to browse manually. The font directory should be listed below the text field, and without a checkmark under "writable". Now you can click "OK" and then restart GIMP. As for choosing fonts, make sure the "tool options windows" is open, however, if not, go to "File>Dialogs>Tool Options". -Gezim P.S.: I think someone might have already answered your question but due to the delay in the mailing list server message processing answers have to be repeated. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
