Is a wrong impression Gimp may use most (maybe all) of fonts included in windows as default, less of the Extra Fonts that you may found on the net .. To install new fonts in Gimp you may simply install them as font in windows If some fonts do not show up you may try to copy them , paste in a new folder,and from Gimp ,exactly from Edit/preferences/font add a path to that new font folder and then reload gimp That often help, if doesn't usually fonts are incompatible (the fact that some other programs may use them here is not relevant except if you want use that fonts with that other program ) Unisciti alla community di Io fotografo e video, il nuovo corso di fotografia di Gazzetta dello sport: http://www.flickr.com/groups/iofotografoevideo _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
