Re: [Gimp-user] font location.

2010-04-03 Thread Owen

 I wanted to use the free Pricedown font in a Gimp process. First I put
 it
 in  my home directory:
 /home/safe/.gimp-2.6/fonts/pricedow.ttf
 Gimp didn't find it.
 Then I put it in
 /usr/share/fonts/TTF/pricedow.ttf
 Gimp didn't find it.
 Then I put it in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/fonts/pricedow.ttf
 Gimp found it.

 Now we are a long way from 2.0. Why do I have to put a font in there
 to be
 found?  And why doesn't the online Gimp manual say anything about font
 installation?



Hi John,

What does your Edit-Preferences-Folders-Fonts say?

Hi John again,


What does http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-using-fonts.html say in
your browser

 Slackware 13 Linux, Gimp 2.6.6
 

I'm using FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 with GIMP 2.6.6 and all of my fonts (I
have over 10,000 and that's not including those installed with GIMP and
my system) are in ~/.fonts/ and GIMP detects them all (along with every
other app) just fine.
