What you used is certainly not the format that GIMP 1.2 expected. The format for GIMP 1.2 was XLFD as described in http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.5.0/doc/xlfd.txt Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Would you believe that it is simply "FrutigerBold Bold Italic"? Use the name of the font followed by the style modifiers. BTW, why are you upgrading to GIMP 2.2 version when GIMP 2.4 has been released? -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

I need to get the list of font names that can be passed to the Gimp server, 2.2 version. Let's say I want to pass this font 'FrutigerBold bold Italic normal'. What is the new format of this font for version 2.2 of Gimp.

The question is if it is > a correspondence between the old font names (ver 1.2) and the one for > version 2.2. GIMP 2.x has some code that tries to come up with a good guess in case you are using the old font descriptions. This is used to interpret the parasites written by the old GIMP Dynamic Text plug-in. You could have look at that code (app/text/gimptext-xlfd.c). But I would suggest you just make yourself familiar with the X Logical Font Description (that is the old style) and the way that Pango font descriptions work.
