Installing Free Fonts On Gimp 2.8

Installing Fonts in The Gimp. The Gimp comes with very few fonts installed. Here is what I did to enhance my copy of the Gimp with more installed fonts. First, I searched the Internet to find fonts to install. Once found, these fonts were easily installed using a step-by-step procedure. Here are the steps I took: Decide which fonts to install. I have found the proper 'GIMP' file in my user library, and there is already a '2.8' folder there with plugins, fonts, etc. I did try renaming that folder to see if I could get my newer GIMP to install, but it didn't work.

GIMP carries a license of GPLv3+ and is available in Microsoft Windows, macOS as well as Linux. It came into existence as General Image Manipulator Program and later changed its name to GIMP. Volunteers linked with GNU and GNOME project developed this as free software.

No difference from Gimp 2.8 the font files should go in your Gimp 2.10 profile.

C:Users'yourname'AppDataRoamingGIMP2.10fonts

All sorts of users, have all sorts of problems, with fonts in Windows. Difficult to say it it an issue with Windows or User or font-file or Gimp. I blame Windows but sometimes it is an malformed font. Gimp 2.10 seems a little more picky than 2.8

At least if they are in the Gimp profile, easy to get rid of them, which is not always the case when installed in Windows fonts folder

Installing Free Fonts On Gimp 2.8

Two other options here are to store the fonts outside of those installed on the system, and point GIMP to this new folder from preferences. Another option is to google Font Frenzy and try the snapshot button so there is a restore point for your current fonts, Load any new fonts you'd like to, And run from there. A word of caution with fonts tho. The more you have, the slower GIMP will open.
