Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts
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 text tool options to select it by entering its name (or part thereof) using the font selector's text-field selection tool. -u >Original Message >From: for...@gimpusers.com >Date: 28/03/2016 00:28 >To: >Cc: >Subj: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts > >>It isn't clear why you want to replace /Library/Fonts with >>8/fonts as this file path is already defined in GIMP > Fonts > >>Font Folders preferences. >> >>On OSX there are 4 default files paths in fonts.conf, which could be >>commented out.

Instead of modifying the global configuration - which might be overwritten by a new GIMP package - making changes to your own personal fonts.conf file is more durable.

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.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts
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 make a modification to the system-reserved software, Apple sends a message to one of your other devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc.) that asks you to verify your Apple ID. When you do so from that device, your computer will grant you full access. In other words, even if you are logging in as the sole administrative user, you have to verify that semi-independently to get full access. That means that if your computer is stolen, they have to steal at least one other device and have your Apple ID to get full access. Nice of Apple—to force you to buy another Apple device. That's as I understand it, as I haven't "upgraded" to the latest version, though I will do so shortly. I'm glad Apple takes security as seriously as they do. I just wish they were still good enough to do it in a user friendly manner. Apple has a very good support site: Apple.com/support.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts
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/Library. Most OSX fonts are not located in /System/Library/Fonts, but are by default located in Library/Fonts, but it is also probably a bad idea to change the file names for fonts in this location too. However, if you are set on this appraoach then you will probably be better to copy/duplicate font files accross to /Users/your_user_name/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/fonts, and make any changes to the font file names in this location. >Original Message >From: for...@gimpusers.com >Date: 26/03/2016 18:46 >To: >Cc: >Subj: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts > >>Steve, >> >>Nice workaround for the ordering.

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.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts
Steve, Nice workaround for the ordering. On the Mac OS, you can also add a special character that sorts last to get the unwanted fonts down to the bottom of the list. I use which generates an omega character.

If not, you can put copies of the fonts you want to use in the GIMP in its own font directory, and that should do the deed. It should be possible to reorder the font listing in the GIMP by renaming the font files, i.e. add 01, 02, etc. to groups you want to see listed first, second, etc. :o) ___ 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
Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Font List or remove unwanted fonts
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 the foreign font families at the time of OS installation, if you want to do a clean install.
