Where the fonts come from? - jerryemerydelacruz - 08-11-2021 I just installed Gimp 2.10.24 on a new computer, and it's reading the fonts from the Windows Font folder even though that folder isn't listed as a font folder in the Preferences>Folders>Fonts. All of the font folders in Preferences are empty. Is there a way to prevent Gimp from loading the Windows fonts and only load the Fonts I put in the folders listed under Preferences? I changed the permissions of the fonts.conf file in Program Files>Gimp2/etc/fonts. Opened the file with Notepad and removed the line <dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir>. I then copied a ttf font to the Program Files>Gimp 2>share>gimp>2.0>fonts folder and restarted Gimp. Now it only shows the one font, so this seems to work. RE: Where the fonts come from? - PixLab - 08-12-2021 I was not aware about that (on Linux we got billions of "Noto" variant fonts, it's just insane) I'll try to find a way on Linux... Thank you for coming back and gave us a solution, very much appreciated.

This appears to add them to /etc/fonts/disabledfonts.xml. The corresponding file seems also to become "dotted" : /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSerifTibetan-Thin.ttf becomes /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/.NotoSerifTibetan-Thin.ttf (and yes, my disabledfonts.xml is about 1500 lines...). RE: Where the fonts come from? - rich2005 - 08-12-2021 Same as ofnuts, I use a linux fontmanager. https://i.imgur.com/INaQ9Gl.jpg This is an old version, which I pinned, it is up to version 7.x Lots of noto to disable Quote:...snip...Opened the file with Notepad and removed the line <dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir>.... Windows users, the hack for fonts.conf works, at least in the short term. I am never a great fan of deleting anything, until I am sure of the consequences. Disable the line by commenting out using <!--- --> as: Code: <!-- <dir>WINDOWSFONTSDIR</dir> --> RE: Where the fonts come from? - PixLab - 08-13-2021 Thanks guys, but yesterday after this thread, I was determinate to clean that plague So I did found a code to made as a .sh file Code: #!/bin/bash It removed something like > 1GB, then I manually removed all the non Latin Noto (there were even many Indian-American fonts like Cherokee...), Still a lot of Noto remaining, but at least, what a clean, and the scrolling in GIMP became human RE: Where the fonts come from? - Redraw - 08-15-2021 I'm sure that this method I'm using for a few years now was worked out using information from here gimp-forum.net over several different posts anyway, this method works also I keep my main stockpile of fonts in an Ext HD along with folders for brushes gradients and tutorials hints well everything that goes with or can go into Gimp, the fonts go [copied only] into > /home/YOURNAME/.config/GIMP/2.10/fonts/ Add a Tag for a group or individual fonts, as you add them tag em, the bottom box is where you can add tags. Have the name of tags highlighted in top box The system fonts are a no show until needed if needed Wasn't able to add the image |
