First, that is an artifact of BAD quoting - quoting all of the prior  
post.  When people ONLY quote the part they are replying to then no  
scrolling should be necessary to get to their reply.


Second, since you are writing this post for *others* to read, you should  
post it in the format that the *others* have said they want it.  That  
means no top posting.



especially on long threads. So no, I will not reply below quoted text.


So, in other words, you refuse to participate in this group in the  
manner in which everyone else participates in it because of your  
personal (and misguided) belief that in doing so you make things easier  
for yourself, even if it makes things harder for everyone else.  That's  
selfish and rude.



And yes, i'll try to quote only parts i'm answering to.


If you are willing to do that, why not just go the whole way and stop  
top posting and do it the way the rest of the group does it and the way  
that netiquette specifies is the preferred method?




If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or include
just enough text of the original to give a context.

Doing it differently (quoting at the bottom and especially quoting the  
entire post at the bottom) *really* screws up quoting when there are  
nested quotes.


It would be very refreshing if you would reconsider your reasons for  
refusing to cooperate and instead give it a try to do it the way the  
group prefers, the way described in RFC 1855, a system that has worked  
well for over a decade (since 1995).  It would show that A) you aren't  
selfish and rude after all; and B) that you are willing to listen to  
arguments about why your way may not be best for the group as a whole;  
and C) that you DO care about presenting your ideas in a way that makes  
it easier for the others in the group to read them.


Thank you!

I do hope it was interesting and relevant post not only for me but for  
everyone is posting.

The fontconfig configuration file usually contains this directory already,
so if the system fonts are not picked up by default on some systems, it
would be worthwile to investigate this a bit further.

P.S. could you reply below the quoted text and only quote the parts you're
replying to?


HTH,

Add Windows fonts folder and that should work. Restart GIMP first of  
course. Or maybye even restart computer. Windows loves that ;)

hi,
i just recommended a windows friend to use Gimp and he is actually
really happy with it. The only thing is that he needs to use Japanese
fonts with it and it seems as if Gimp doesn't let him access the regular
system fonts.  Gimp has its own font directory.
I run Gimp on Linux and i can use all fonts installed system wide.  The
thing is i don't really know much about windows and how to install fonts
or how Gimp in windows works.  Can someone maybe help me out, so i can
forward this to him?

Thanks,

Eric
