A few questions regarding GIMP

Alright I have a few questions about GIMP. The first two I haven't gotten helpful answers for.
1) How do you access the Font Config thing? 2) Where can I get fonts to add to GIMP? 3) Is there somewhere I can leave suggestions for GIMP? I think they should add a symmetrical function but don't know where to suggest it.

What do you mean "access" fontconfig exactly?

2) Where can I get fonts to add to GIMP?

Most likely if you install them using your system administration tool to install font, they will be placed in standard place, and GIMP should be able to find them.

If you have for instance downloaded fonts from the web, you can add them for instance in ~/.gimp-2.8/fonts/ for GIMP 2.8 (under your home directory, depending on the operating system, it has obviously different places).

Finally if for some reason, you don't want to place the font file there, and GIMP can't find them itself, in GIMP, go in Edit > Preferences > Folders > Fonts. There click on the + to add a folder where new fonts can be loaded. On the next startup, all fonts in added folders will be available in GIMP.

3) Is there somewhere I can leave suggestions for GIMP? I think they should

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GIMP On this address, you can create bug report or feature requests for GIMP, or search if your desired requests has not already been written by someone.

add a symmetrical function but don't know where to suggest it.

What do you call a symmetrical function? Is it like a mirror mode where you would paint and your drawing would be mirrored in real time? If so, there is already a request for it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648776 And actually I am planning to implement this, most likely soon. Or were you asking about another feature?
