OTF fonts do work, sometimes when installed in Windows fonts, it is not picked up by Gimp. First thing to try is put the font file "something".otf in your Gimp fonts folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\fonts Start Gimp up and see if it is recognised. Failing that sometimes these "bought" from some fonts designer are not particularly standard. Can sometimes be fixed in a font editor but not straightforward.

I just checked and the version of GIMP I have here - 2.8.10 on a Debian family Linux OS - handles OTF fonts normally. 2.10 should do likewise. If your problem OTF font is installed in a system font folder, try putting a copy in your GIMP fonts folder to make sure the GIMP can find it. On *NIX systems the folder is at /home/.gimp/fonts. Various Windows versions seem to put GIMP configuration (etc.) files in different locations, but they will all be there including the \fonts folder. On any system, you will need to tell your file browser to show hidden files and directories. This may be helpful in finding the GIMP config & etc. files on Microsoft systems: https://superuser.com/questions/489423/where-do-i-put-plugins-for-gimp-2-8-on-windows Also make sure the file extension is correct, and if it's in upper case try changing it to lower case. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] otf fonts
I am trying to use an otf font I purchased. It is installed in the font folder, I can access it in Word and even paint but it doesn't show up in gimp. It looks like otf fonts should be accessible to gimp, especially as they were created for graphic designers, but this one is just not showing up.
