Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
Font preferences allows the user to add custom paths to font directories. The
system fonts are included by default but are not viewable/removable by going to
File > Preferences > Folders > Fonts
Even though the fonts found in /usr/share/fonts are included in Gimp's font
selections, they cannot be seen in the font preferences (list of paths).
As a feature request it has been suggested that giving user control over the
fonts to be used may allow gimp to react less sluggish by having an option to
not trying to load all the system fonts. The way it is done now (loading all
system fonts at startup) should still remain the default.
A few suggestions on how Gimp could implement giving the end-user more power
over system fonts.:
1) Have a check box in Font preferences: "Use System Fonts"
2) Place /usr/share/fonts (and perhaps all its subdirectories) in the list of
paths
