It wasn't me who first suggested modifying fonts.conf. Indeed, I am
probably against this approach.
I suggest it may be easier, (and as you know you can create
collections, which is what I think you wished GIMP could do) to use
OSX's Font Book.app to browse for a font, and then to use GIMP's t

Expanding on that - modifying the fontconfig settings is the way to go.
Instead of modifying the global configuration - which might be

That's the problem, then. If I recall correctly, you can take the machine to a
Certified Apple Technician, and they can recover that password or get around it
in some way. Check the Apple support site, and ask in their forums.

Also as ugajin suggests, try using Font Book to deactivate system files, rather
than removing them.

First, what version of OSX are you using?
I just tried removing a system font under Yosemite, and it worked. I have to
assume that the account you are using does not have root administration access.
If you are running El Capitan, then the way I've been told it works is that
when you attempt to
Don't use GIMP to scroll through fonts, use Font Book.app. It is
designed to let you search, organise and manage your fonts.
OSX is preventing you from doing something harmful. Ordinarily you
ought not remove and/or rename System files, nor (as a rule) whould you
add files to the OSX System/Li
I just went into /System/Libary/Fonts and removed some. I had to type in my
admin name and password. However, I'm running OS 10.6.8. I'll have to try with

Nice workaround for the ordering. On the Mac OS, you can also add a special

list. I use which generates an omega character.

The reason you cannot remove the "system fonts" is that they are part of "core
services." under current OS X versions these can only be altered by the
administrative user account with authentication from Apple via an Apple ID, but
it (supposedly) can be done.
Another approach is to not install
