Logo uses RoostHeavy Font.

I have a recent download of Gimp 2.3.13 on a Slackware Linux system using fc-cache for fonts. However Gimp may use something else.

The 3d outline Script Fu appears to want the RoostHeavy font by default. AFAIK I don't have this font on my system. When I use the font selector on the 3D screen it shows RoostHeavy as the default but the results do not resemble the RoostHeavy font I see on the internet. And when I use that same font selector to search available fonts RoostHeavy is not one of the choices. So I have to assume that the script fu substitutes another font silently.

Can anyone suggest what the substituted font might be?

I have downloaded a TTF version of Roost Heavy. Where should I put it so that Gimp can find it? In amongst my X11 fonts?

Try looking in the GIMP's preferences dialog under Folders/Fonts. There should be a list of directories there that it uses to find font files. That should give you a clue about where to put it.

If you are on a windows pc, all you should need to do is install the font via the windows control panel. To do this, go to Start --> Control Panel --> Fonts

Drag/drop the font into this folder. You might have to restart gimp, but in my case it works fine and also with my other utilities that use custom fonts. If I only knew how to do this in linux the easy way...

Put them in $HOME/.fonts. Works for me with OO, GIMP, Inkscape.

I also use a font manager called 'fontypython' that manages symlinks from font collections into $HOME/.fonts
