I am a novice Gimp user, use version 2.10.18 on Linux, and am trying to install some *.ttf fonts.  I tried following the steps in the documentation but the fonts aren't showing up.

1. I've put the files in my personal Gimp directory such as $HOME/.gimp-2.8/fonts/Exo-Regular.ttf
   
2. I used the refresh button in the font dialog - the fonts are not present in Gimp
   
3. I restarted Gimp - the fonts are still not present
   

Hallo

In the actual gimp-version the sliders of the color chooser dialog are to a big amount covered in the out-of-gamut-marker-color.
How can i remove this overlay?

The default size and color are invisible. Is there a way to change them?
Rather than changing them by hand every time I open the program

I take photos daily of items for an estore. They are a big size, and I'd like to reduce it.
I tried to reduce the quality, but the size is still big. Do you have any ideas?
I reduced the dimensions but I would like to further decrease the overall SIZE, not just the dimensions.

After installing the G'Mic-Qt version 2.9.9 I've got an error using Gimp 2.10.24(revision 2) on a Windows10 OS. Because I installed the new version without deinstalling the old version I removed G'mic-Qt and installed the new version. The error was still there. I removed the G'Mic-Qt and searched if there was any information was still some things on my computer concerning G'Mic-Qt. I found some things in the windows folder: Users/My_user/Appdata/Roaming/gmic. I removed this folder and installed G'Mic-Qt version 2.9.9 and the error was gone. Now I get an error when I use following plugin :

Using the previous version of G'Mic-Qt the plugin worked perfectly. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance for the response. 
   

Hello Guys!

I use Gimp Sam'j Portable, having one copy on PC and another on my USB Flash Drive (Pendrive).

The problem is that whenever I use the pendrive on a different PC I need to re-enter the path for each folder to gimp ; Patterns, Brushes, Scripts, Plug-ins, etc.

This routine is laborious, boring and discouraging. 

I usually use the Pendrive with my laptop, so ok, I don't need to change anything, the path only needed to be informed once.

Is there an ideal way (folder) where I can put my files and they will be automatically detected even if I use Pendrive on several PCs?

Thank you very much.

I have an image that is the correct size (length and width) but it is only 98 dpi.  Before printing, I need to resample the image to increase it to 150 dpi without changing the size.   Photoshop has this capability ("constrain proportions"), but I can't figure out how to do it in GIMP.  

Is this possible in GIMP?

Now that microsoft at the end of the year is upgrading windows 10 to windows 11 you can check if your computer is compatible :

Hi, I'm new here so apologies if this has already been addressed. 

Is there a way to erase the edges in a repeat pattern to create a seamless pattern? The below link shows an example of what I mean - it's the white edges that I want erased.

Thanks for any help! 

I'm trying to learn to use the Sphere Designer to make simple spheres.  I made several and was happy with them, but now, the spheres always render invisible.  They appear normally in the Preview pane, but when I click "OK," there is just a plain checkered background.

I have already clicked Reset and restarted GIMP.  They still render invisible.  I expect I've changed some kind of setting, but I don't know what it was. 

One thing I know I played around with was the second color.  (Orange spheres had an unpleasant blue tint I was trying to get rid of.  I've set the second color back to black, so I don't think that's causing the invisibility problem.) 

Help would be very much appreciated.
