Installing fonts on GIMP?

[Dru2]

Hallo there. I would like some help with GIMP 2, if you know how to work it.


I know GIMP comes with a bunch of fonts (none of them very good imo). Regardless, I found a cool font i want to use in GIMP with making a picture, but i can't figure out how to add a font into GIMP. I looked into the fonts folder in GIMP, but i couldn't find where to place the font file.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on Windows? iirc GIMP just used the operating system fonts folder, so you can install fonts by, well, installing them ("Install new font" menu option in C:\Windows\Fonts folder, or "Install font" context menu option on a font file if you're running Windows 7).

This. This is how I use GiMP and you just install fonts onto Windows, and not the software itself.

O_O i just failed majorly.

I was about to say i already tried that and it didn't work. Turns out i just didn't look hard enough for it after i installed it.

Thanks for the help anyway tho ^^'
