I have a perl script using the Gimp module which I am using to generate images on the fly. Currently I am hardcoding the names of fonts into a list in the script (or allowing them to be passed as arguments). I run up the Gimp, run a script-fu with a font selector (say one of the logo generators), and then select a font and copy out the font descriptor string. I've been doing some digging through the procedural database, and then went through the mailing list archives, did google and deja searches, but haven't turned up a way to query the list of installed fonts from a script (and in particular a perl script). I'm currently at gimp version 1.1.29 but am more than willing to upgrade if such a feature has been added in later releases (I'll upgrade to the latest soon anyway). Is there a function call I'm missing that can return a list of the installed fonts (preferably in the '-*-*-*-*-*-...' format)? Rick -- Rick Bradley http://www.eastcore.net
