Gimp does not come with any fonts. It uses the fonts installed in the system, which might be very many. In linux I can disable many of the never-used fonts to reduce the number seen by Gimp. This is reasonably up-to-date and might give a clue to a suitable font manager. (w*w*w.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html un-mux the url - it kicked in some sort of protection by the forum software) Any fonts that *only* you will only use with Gimp should go in your gimp profile. Something like /Users/MyName/Library/Application Support/Gimp/2.8/fonts if that is what is used these days. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Hi, I would like to have fewer fonts in my Gimp. Many seem to repeat. I went to applications/GIMP/Contents/Resources/share/gimp/2.0/fonts. There are zero items there. Where should I look now? I have Gimp 2.8.22 Thank you, Terry Yes, there was a font folder in my user library and it had one font which I put in and four documents like fonts.list fonts.scale -- Terry50 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Click on Fonts and a list of the directories the GIMP looks for fonts in is presented. I have "way too many" fonts on my workstation, so I deleted all but the GIMP's own font folder from the list, then copied all I fonts I do want the GIMP to see into the .../gimp-2.8/fonts folder. I presume the configuration menu in the OSX version of the GIMP should be very similar to the one described above. :o) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
