I know where to get the gimp texts and how to save them, the problem is using them on gimp. I go to the text tool and click 'open' like I think I am supposed to do and I click on the text I want, but it doesn't work! Can anyone explain to me how to do this with small, simple words? Greatly appreciated! Site where I get texts: www.dafont.com/

Ok, you have to install them into your Windows fonts directory (go to Control Panel > Fonts > File Install new font... > Find where you have them saved), and you also have to add t hem to GIMP's font directory as well (can't remember where this is for sure... been a while since I used GIMP, and I don't have it installed on this computer =(. ). I had this problem as well (at least, I think you're describing the same problem as me, anyway), but it was fixed after I added every font I installed in the Windows fonts, into GIMP's fonts. Just a note, though...this might make GIMP hang/lag a bit on initial start-up, when it loads the fonts.

This should be in the Digital Art Lounge. I'll move it. (This is a common mistake...I need to make it more obvious which board to post things like this in)
CarnageX is the most experienced using GIMP, so I'll let him answer your question. Edit: Damn you're quick Carnage. >_>
