hello to all
i'm using ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon
and gimp
when i try to create an outline logo text
the default font is Roostheavy
but when the logo is generated, the font is not roostheavy.
i tried to look for roostheavy but i cannot find it.
i think its in a 'freefonts' package (at least in slackware)
but i don't know what to apt-get to install it.
i tried
sudo apt-get install freefonts
but i was not successful
perhaps i am missing a repository?
or i got the package name wrong?
anyonecan help me with this?

try my small guide on fonts

http://janquark.fatfreehost.com/gimp8.html

perhaps it will solve your problem
on my page are also other gimp tutorials and I try to add new ones regularly so have a look sometimes :)
