He here is a Beginners Guide on how to Put fonts on GIMP.
1).First Choose a font from the font site. (dafont.com is reccommended)
2).Then Click download and wait till the file opens.
3).After it opens you should have 3 documents the only one that matters is the .ttf file.
4).Next go to Places and open the Home folder.
5).it should be on the username w/e it is. Now go to View and Show Hidden files.
6).Now scroll until you see a folder called .gimp-2.4. Open it.
7).Then Look for a folder called Fonts. Open it. you should have something like this:
/home/yourusername/.gimp-2.4/fonts
8.Just place the thefontname.ttf file in the this folder.
9).Now Open the Terminal under Accessories. This is to refresh the Font cache.
(Optional) 10).Now after the terminal opens type in this code here:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
i have used the codes and it worked after i did that but in some cases u have to but you normally dont have to do it. All you do is close gimp and start it up again.
11). After you enter the code it will ask you for your password (the password is what you use to login with) and after you enter your pass word it will refresh the cache
And you should be good to go with GIMP.
If you have any questions about how to do this please ask me here or through PM.
