I have also installed the Vera fonts .. (not through an ebuild) and they seem to work fine with gimp. This is what I did: -copied the (ttf)files into ~/.fonts -ran 'fc-cache' -'emerge gimp-freetype' When doing: RightClick -> Filters -> Render -> Freetype... , for the first time, I'm asked where my fonts are located... I supplied ~/.fonts , and it worked. You could try a 'fc-list' to list the fonts available .. If you see the vera-fonts, and it still does not work, try to move ~/.gimp-1.2 to ~/.gimp-1.2.old, and restart gimp .. FYI; it seems that my Vera-fonts are not available either, if I do not specify the folder they are located in. You can specify it, by doing RightClick -> Filters -> Render -> Freetype... -> configure -- Erland Nylend -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
