Hi,

The problem I am having is getting fonts to appear in Gimp. It worked yesterday where I got 2-3 fonts to appear. I tried putting up more today and it didn't show up. I spent an hour or 2 trying different ways. I can see the fonts in adobe Photoshop but not gimp. If you can help please that would be greatly appreciated. I have windows xp sp1 with gimp 2.4.7

What I tried:
Reinstalling Gimp
Rebooting the computer
Recopying/pasting

Steps I took to put the fonts on:

1) Downloaded it and put it into the Gimp's Font folder
2) Opened Gimp (still didn't appear)

1) Downloaded the fonts and put it in the Systems Font folder
2) Opened Gimp(Still didn't appear)

Also I added brushes and they worked like a charm. Its only the fonts that are giving me the problem.

Thanks

Step to step guide for fonts:
Go to your Start Menu.
Go to control panel.
Find the Fonts folder.
Open the folder where the font you want is in.
Either move it into your Fonts folder or copy and paste it into your Fonts folder.
Restart Gimp.
If you have any problems tell me.

Oh crap. Sorry, didn't really read it well.
Did you restart Gimp? Or restart your computer then open Gimp.

Try clearing the old fonts and re-add them.

Btw are the fonts supposed to be set on "Archive" or "Read-Only". Just right click on the font file->properties

Finally!!!! Figured it out. What you do is make a new folder anywhere and go to (in GImp) file>preferences>folders>fonts>create new>select where your new folder is>put your fonts in there>okay>close out of gimp>open up gimp.

Thank you for trying Dark.
