Hi, I'm pretty new to both Gimp and Linux.
I'm trying to produce a brand-compliant leaflet for a charity I support. I've installed two new fonts that were provided by the charity - 'Omnes Extra light' and 'Omnes Thin'
But I cannot get Gimp to recognize them as two different fonts, or to name them correctly.
First off, they pop up in the Gimp font list with wrong names. Both have been labelled as 'Omnes Light' - which is in fact the name of a different font - that I haven't installed. And when I use them to edit text, both fonts print out identically - which is wrong, they should appear notably different from each other..
I have viewed whole alphabets for both fonts in Font Viewer and both appear as they should be - intact and correct. Both have file names that are correct for the fonts: 'omnes-thin.ttf' and 'omnes-extralight.ttf
Things I have tried:
I have installed .otf versions of both fonts with the same result.
I have tried installing the fonts automatically via Font viewer.
I have tried putting them manually in a different folder - ie in /home/andy/.fonts
None of the above work. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer !
