[Gimp-user] too many fonts
Hi! Once I have installed a lot of fonts (1000+) from the internet. My problem is it's very hard to manage them in gimp. Not only the list box scrolls and refresehs slowly, but I can find fonts very hardly. I was thinking if it would be possible to group fonts in categories, so I can choose which group to browse. For example all the fancy fonts would be in category 'Fancy', so when I'm developing some images for a buisness website, I don't need to see them. But when developing gfx for games, I could quickly change to the category fancy. Also I liked very much the font dialog in gimp 1.2, in 2.0 is it still available, and if yes, how and where? Thanks in advance! Best Regards, Szasz Pal Space Software Studio ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

For now I suggest you use the search capabilities of the treeview. Press Ctrl-F (or Ctrl-S if you are using emacs keybindings with GTK+) to enter search mode. In GIMP-2.1 there's also a font entry with completion in the text tool options. Also I liked very much the font dialog in gimp 1.2, in 2.0 is it still available, and if yes, how and where? No, it isn't. It has however been suggested that the fonts should be grouped by family and again, this might even become implemented one day. All these requests are in Bugzilla.

So I should wait patienty till somebody implements it ?-) Is there a way to write a font-selector plugin for gimp? So by using this plugin people could have an alternative font selector?

Hi, Szasz Pal [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So I should wait patienty till somebody implements it ?-) No, you could of course help with it. Perhaps you would like to propose a better font selector, draw some mockups and put it up for discussion? If we can make up a well-defined goal, that would make it easier to implement it. Is there a way to write a font-selector plugin for gimp? So by using this plugin people could have an alternative font selector? No, there isn't and it wouldn't be feasible to add such an interface.
