Adding fonts to GIMP

How do you get more fonts to add to the font config? I want to make some images with cool font but don't know where to find them. Can someone please help? This is where I found out about fontconfig http://www.gimp.org/unix/fonts.html

You can search the web for free fonts. There are lots of them.

To just create images with cool fonts in GIMP you already looked at the right address. Just follow the steps in the section 'Adding fonts (for GIMP only)'.

Kind regards,

Adding fonts to GIMP

On OS X 10.8, my file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf has the following lines:

<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

/System/Library/Fonts /Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts

and GIMP see all of my system- and user-fonts.
