how to add new fonts?

Hello.

i am under the impression that any font in window$ must be detected by GIMP text tool. unfortunately, it is not happening so. is there any specific method to add the fonts to gimp? if so how?

i m still using GIMP 2.4 , yet to upgrade :D

thanks, Akshay

Try to use the "Rescan font list" command. (click the font selection button -> click the Open the font selection dialog button at the bottom -> some sort of refresh button appears at the bottom of the opened window)
