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.
What am I doing wrong? I realize the directory is .gimp-2.8 and not .gimp-2.10 but that's what was in my home directory. Should I rename the directory?
- I've put the files in my personal Gimp directory such as $HOME/.gimp-2.8/fonts/Exo-Regular.ttf
- I used the refresh button in the font dialog - the fonts are not present in Gimp
- I restarted Gimp - the fonts are still not present
