Then press the Refresh button in the Fonts dialog and start using your new fonts. The default place where GIMP will look for user fonts is ~/.gimp-2.8/fonts/ but you can change it or add other directories by modifying your gimprc or in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Fonts. For such cases, GIMP 2.x also looks for fonts in a GIMP specific font search path. You might want to install fonts for use with GIMP only or you might not have permissions to install fonts system-wide. Some distributions also propose a graphical tool allowing to install fonts from third-party without bothering about the specifics.įonts added this way will be available to all applications using the Fontconfig system (such as GIMP). After copying the fonts there, you should run fc-cache to regenerate the fonts cache. Have a look at /etc/fonts/nf (and perhaps /etc/fonts/nf) to find out which directories are searched, or look for your operating system documentation. In case you want to manually add third-party fonts (commercial, downloaded…), adding fonts is usually just a matter of moving font files into a directory that is searched by the font system. The easier is usually to install them this way. Most distributions will propose a large choice of fonts in their package manager. Adding Fonts for GIMP 2.x ¶ System-Wide ¶ GIMP 2.x handles a variety of font formats, most notably TrueType, OpenType and Type1.
