bitmap-fonts in gimp2

Hello list!

I'd need to use the bitmap-fonts of my X-installation to draw quite small test. Unfortunately the font-tool shows only the type1 and truetype fonts (which look quite ugly at small sizes).

Is there any possibility to use bitmap fonts within gimp2?

Thanks for any hint Maier Gerfried

Yes, you just need to configure fontconfig to list them. See http://gimp.org/unix/fonts.html.

Hello Sven!

Unfortunately I did not receive your mail. But I just found it in the archives.

Thanks for your hint. There was a second fonts.conf creeping around in my system which did not allow the bitmap fonts. I was able to fix this.
