Font preferences allows the user to add custom paths to font directories. The system fonts are included by default but are not viewable/removable by going to File > Preferences > Folders > Fonts Even though the fonts found in /usr/share/fonts are included in Gimp's font selections, they cannot be seen in the font preferences (list of paths). I have suggested a feature be added giving user control over the system fonts. If you are a GIMP developer, please let me know what you think of this by posting to bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546344 The proposed feature request will give control over system fonts from within GIMP, so that the user could chose to turn them off if preferred. In turn this will allow "power users" to have full control over the fonts displayed in GIMP. -komputes _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
