font location.

I wanted to use the free Pricedown font in a Gimp process. First I put it in my home directory:
/home/safe/.gimp-2.6/fonts/pricedow.ttf Gimp didn't find it.
Then I put it in
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/pricedow.ttf
Gimp didn't find it.
Then I put it in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/fonts/pricedow.ttf Gimp found it.

Now we are a long way from 2.0. Why do I have to put a font in there to be found? And why doesn't the online Gimp manual say anything about font installation?

Slackware 13 Linux, Gimp 2.6.6

Hi John,

What does your Edit->Preferences->Folders->Fonts say?

Hi John again,

What does http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-using-fonts.html say in your browser

I'm using FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 with GIMP 2.6.6 and all of my fonts (I have over 10,000 and that's not including those installed with GIMP and my system) are in ~/.fonts/ and GIMP detects them all (along with every other app) just fine.
