Not exactly Gimp, but try this: si...@mezzanine:~$ fc-list "DejaVu Sans" : file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf: Hope this helps, Simon -- si...@budig.de http://simon.budig.de/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

No, but the tools that come with fontconfig can. There's the fc-list command-line utility that can list all available fonts with their filenames. Try "fc-list : family style file". For details see the fc-list manual page. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

In Unix based systems it would be worth to try with symlinks: keep the original named files somewhere, make the apps see symlinks that have usable names and point to the real files; or even hardlinks, if same partition.

I had a similar problem - I had a directory containing tons of fonts that were all very badly named. I wrote this snippet to rename the files based on the actual font name (family_style.ttf) so I could find them and install as needed: http://pastebin.com/GB6PKBim BE WARNED: this changes the file names *in place* - there is absolutely no safety net. You might consider copying your font dir to a temporary location and then running the script there instead. For me it worked well - that whole directory is named correctly now, but I make no guarantees (may kick puppies, eat kittens, etc. ;) Also it only will do TTF files, and probably only works on linux. You need python-imaging and python-magic as well. Another possibility would be to modify this script to output the filename and the font name on the same line - that way you could pipe that through grep and see which file matches which font.
