Are you possibly missing a package that was accidently not marked with a dependency? :) I might... but how am I to know? Or how do i find out what package I could be missing as long as I don't even know what packages I might need? How did you install your SuSE system? YaST2? Have you made any major changes in your system since installation? It was installed with yast2 almost always just following the defaults... and I have not done major changes yet... As a SuSE user (etc.), this sounds to me like a SuSE problem. Did you check the support database? (the suse one) yes I did... the only thing I thought to be eventually relevant was the tip to update the freetype2-rpm... did that w/o any visible impact... I have in the meanwhile tried to start an xterm with the same long font description from the text-tool dialog and it won't show the fonts either... so it is not a gimp-issue, obviously... But what I don't understand is this: How can I use those fonts in kmail and how is the Gimp able to display the fonts correctly the text tool dialog, but not able to use them at the same time? (as a side note... what do you think of the gimp chapter in the applications manual?) Unfortunately, I have never had the books for SuSE 7.3. The last release I bought was 7.0 and I gave the applications manual to my mother after I set up a Linux box for her...

I have found similar problem using Gimp 1.2.0 on Win98 with Adobe Type manager. When both True Type and Type1 fonts are activated, I can see Type1 fonts correctly listed in the text tool, but font displayed as sample is always the same (tries Gimp some font substitution?). When the TrueType are deactivated, Type1 fonts work fine - e.g. I can't work by the same time with both types of font... ...by the way: My Gimp seems to recognize all Type1 fonts as bitmap. Maybe that's why scaling doesn't work - text size is always default (something like 82 pts), and can be sized only with layer. In other programs are these workarounds not neccessary, various experiments with ATM settings did not have any effect.

Re: [Gimp-user] is anybody here?
Great... :) is there a list with more traffic? Or is nobody using the Gimp any more? All the Websites seem to be totally outdated... the plug-in registry is down... the online boards seem to be not frequented at all... What's going on? Hansen PS: so I guess nobody here has any idea concerning my font problem?

RE: [Gimp-user] is anybody here?
I'll speak for myself. This mailing list is active but unlike some of the Linux mailing list it tends to convey only GIMP related advice and not unrelated news. Also I don't put question on this mailing list unless it is specific. To be specific I exhaust all possibilities, net searches, and as a newbie to GIMP I also read my two books. The traffic is light to medium. I belong to one other GIMP mailing list and its traffic is light. But both sites provide quality responses - just have patience. jjc -Original Message- From: Johannes Liedtke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 7:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] is anybody here?
