[vox] Fonts for Gimp

[Dick McCabe Jr]

I am trying to get the Gimp to recognize more fonts that I know are on 
my system.  After a bit of Googling I came up with using the KDE Control 
Center to add fonts to the system.  I added fonts from 
"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF".  Most, if not all, were already listed in the 
Gimp font selection but I was not able to use them.  Everything worked 
fine and I saved the changes.  But.... when I opened the Gimp and tried 
to use any of the new fonts, Gimp crashed into a heap, instantly gone 
from the desktop.  If I try to use the old fonts that I used before 
there is no crash.
Any ideas??
I am using Mandrake 9.1.

Thanks  Dick
