[Gimp-user] Fonts
I'm a new user to GIMP. I have been thru Akkana Peck's book. I have used preferences to remove the reference to the Windows Font Folder and inserted my own Font Folder. GIMP sees my Font Folder but still picks up Windows Fonts. Is there a way to eliminate Windows Fonts from being seen by GIMP?

I took out all font folders using the preferences dialog and sometimes GIMP will hang for a long time looking for fonts. Weird! Charlie wrote: I'm a new user to GIMP.

[Gimp-user] Fonts in GIMP 2.6 on Windows 7
I installed a new font in C:\Windows\Fonts. Loaded GIMP up and it found the new font and was able to use it. I made some changes to the font and installed the new TTF file into C:\Windows\Fonts. I reloaded GIMP, but it is not detecting the changed font. There does not seem to be a .fonts.cache-1 file for me to delete. I have uninstalled GIMP and removed the obvious GIMP-related directories prior to reinstalling. Nothing that I have tried will cause GIMP to pickup the updated font file. Any help would be appreciated. Dan ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Fonts shown in correct font
Hi all, I run The Gimp 2.2 in KDE under Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron laptop. I have STFW and read most of TFM but I cannot figure out how to have the list of fonts rendered in each font. To clarify, programs such as Open Office display each font in it's own glyphs, easing font selection. Is The Gimp capable of this? How is it configured? Thanks in advance.

[Gimp-user] Fonts #3 last time!
Thanks for the previous messages. Fonts that showed up in my font list but showed not available were in a fonts.dir file in the directory but not actually in the directory. I removed the offending lines from the fonts.dir file, and all is well (in that area.) It was telling me the truth--the selected font was not available! However.I have gotten my font list to the level I want. But some fonts display an extra character (an @) at the front of the list (when displayed in Dynamic Text.) So instead of the list looking like: ABCDEFGHI... It says: @ABCDEFH Which makes every letter one off. Want an A? Type a B. Want a U? Type a V! That sure doesn't help the touch typist. This is only true for some fonts; others display accurately. It is not true for all the fonts in a directory, some within the directory work fine, some do not. But they all used to work fine. This is pretty mysterious. Any ideas? Jim Clark ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: For some time now, on both 1.2.x and 1.3.x, I have noticed some curiosities about the GIMP's font handling. I have downloaded and installed a number of true-type fonts, most of which work fine, as long as I run xfstt to serve them up, but a few of these fonts behave differently depending on which tool I use to view them. In particular, using GIMP-1.2.5, the text tool by itself fails to show any characters for several of my fonts, meaning I can't use them, although the Freetype tool, while still not letting me use any of the characters, will at least show them in the character grid. The freetype plug-in uses a completely different architecture to handle fonts. It's not surprising that it behaves differently as X11 font rendering (which is what the text tool in 1.2 uses). In GIMP-1.3.15, I have similar problems, but now that I'm running RH-9 (a Gnome-2 system), I find that Nautilus can display *all* of my fonts, at least to the point of popping up the gnome-font-viewer when I click on the font file in Nautilus. What are the plans to unify font handling? I realize this is a horribly hairy problem. For 1.3 the font handling has been unified to the best extent. Nautilus displays the fonts on screen, so it uses the Pango Xft2 backend, while GIMP needs to render bitmaps and uses the Pango FT2 backend. Both backends do however use the same code to manage fonts and they do share the same configuration files. So basically you should be able to use the same fonts and you should get very similar results. There is one exception and that is fonts that do not provide an Unicode character table. Fonts that fail to do that can be considered broken. The Xft2 backend seems to be able to handle some of these fonts by creating an Unicode table from other info in the font. The Pango FT2 backend however fails to load these broken fonts. This probably needs to be improved at the Pango level.

Re: [Gimp-user] Fonts in 1.3.15
Hi Mike - Fonts aren't quite as intuitive (or maybe we're both just set in our ways) as in GIMP-1.2.x, but here's how it works: 1. Double click on the text tool in the toolbox. This will give you the tool's own dialog box, where you can set the font, the size, the color, and the alignment of the text you enter. When you click on the selector button at the right of the font name, you will get a dialog box with the six dozen liquor jugs text. There you can set the font style, if there are any variants. 2. Click in the image window. This will pop up an entry box where you can enter your desired text, also selecting left-to-right or right-to-left directionality. I think 1.3.x puts a whole lot of controls in the tools' own control panels. Once you've opened a single tool control panel, though, it will reflect the controls for whatever tool is active.

[Gimp-user] Fonts in 1.3.15
I'm totally lost with fonts in 1.3.15. Here's what I know: * The text tool has a button for open, a button for clear, and a couple of buttons to indicate the direction of the text. There's also the text window. * There is a font dialog where I can see an Aa example of the fonts plus a quote in that font once I roll over a font label with the mouse. My problems are that: * I cannot change the color of the font, regardless of how I set my foreground color. * I cannot change the size of the font. * I don't seem to be able to actually change the font at all, although I can highlight a font in the font dialog. * Getting the text to appear on the image, even assuming the default font in black, is inconsistently successful. I've been using the earlier Gimp 1.x.x series for a few years now, so I know my way around Gimp fairly well. I'm pretty much all googled out with this problem. I'm running Gnome 2.2 off of the recent Ximian Desktop 2 updates. Could I just have a bum generic font widget from that? I feel like I taking crazy pills here.

[Gimp-user] Fonts GIMP
I have spent hours upon hours trying to figure out how to install some new fonts for use with GIMP. Open Office Writer now recognizes them but not GIMP. I am running GIMP 1.2.3 under Red Hat Linux 8 and the Gnome desktop. The fonts are on a CD from the FontSite and are available as both Type 1 and True Type. The font CD was intended for Mac or Windows so there were no fonts.dir files with them. Since the Type 1 fonts were in 157 separate folders which I didn't want to add individually to the X Font Server path and create individual fonts.dir files for each one I instead created a folder in /usr/share/fonts for the True Type fonts which were all in one folder on the CD. After all the instructions didn't work I just tried something else and they do show up in Open Office Writer (on screen at least, I didn't think about trying to print anything). Does anyone have any ideas on getting GIMP to find them? Thanks, Matt ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] fonts on Red Hat 7.2 resolved
From: Jim Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gimp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Gimp-user] Perennially confusing font problems Hate to ask it, as it has been discussed many times and there are many web pages on it, but I can't get it to work. RedHat 7.2 using GIMP 1.2.3 I have some additional fonts I'm trying to install. I have added the path to this directory to my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config file by just adding the directory with a comma to the list. Red Hat 7.2 uses XFree86 4.1, I believe. This combination now uses the X font server - xfs - instead of handling fonts internally as it did in previous versions of the XFree86 server. So when you make changes to the fs/config file you need to restart the font server: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart You should be able to do this without restarting your X session. One quick way to check if you're already using the font server (aside from checking for it with the ps command) is to query the X server: xset q If you see something like this in the output: Font Path: unix/:7100, ... then you're using the font server. That unix/:7100 is the port the X server is using to talk to a font server. While on the topic of fonts, there seem to be many redundancies and many more not too worthwhile. Other than today's action, I have the standard RH install. Are there any of these directories I can comment out to reduce the clutter? The 100dpi stuff is unnecessary. Its just a duplicate of the 75dpi stuff but for a different resolution. Your monitor is likely at (or near) 75dpi, so you don't need the 100dpi directory.

Re: [Gimp-user] fonts
Hi Richard - There are a number of font repositories on the web where you can get free fonts. Since they come and go with alarming frequency, your best bet is to do a search for something like free fonts and see what you get. With RH 7.2 I think you already have a true-type font server, so you can use anything you get from almost any of the free font repositories. It's also a good idea to look up the font HOW-TO, and check on the web for installation tips and tricks.
