Can't see fonts...
GIMP (1.2.3) can't see my new True Type fonts in RH8.0 that I added*. I've got them up for all other apps (Mozilla, etc.), but GIMP only sees the original fonts.
*here's how I added new fonts:
-create /usr/share/fonts/"true-type font dir" as root
-move ttf's there
-go to the new directory and run mkfontdir
-run ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir
-run /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -add /usr/share/fonts/"true-type font dir"
-run /etc/init.d/xfs restart
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

hi,
i have had a heck of a time with fonts.
for gimp-1.2 i suggest getting the gimp-freetype plug-in from http://freetype.gimp.org get 0.2. there is a configure button there that will find the fonts for you (i bet).
i have yet to find ttf with the other text tools in gimp-1.2.
good luck carol

The "Dynamic Text" tool also works well with Windows fonts on Linux.
Peace....

Know wether or not this will also work from the PerlServer?
Thanks,
