adding fonts to the gimp

Hi everyone,

I'm having some difficulty adding fonts to the GIMP. I'm using GIMP version 2.0.4 and the fonts that I want to add were originally MAC fonts. They were converted to .afm and .pfa. These fonts show up when I use an application like OpenOffice but they do not appear in my font list in the GIMP. Is there anything special I need to do to add these fonts to the gimp?

Cheers, Maria

Looks like I solved my own problem. I seem to recall I restarted the GIMP and the fonts didn't show up. I just hit the refresh to default values button in the font tool dialog and oddly enough, the fonts now appear.

To use MAC fonts, the better is to use the Applesystemfonts package from fink, "this package will extract the TrueType fonts from your Apple System and Library directories and make them available to X11". You just add your TTF fonts to your mac and you can use them with all your X11 app.
