How did you install the fonts. I have just installed all my windows fonts by copying all the files from (in mycase) /mnt/windows/WINNT/Fonts/* to /usr/ X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ then you need to do a:- mkfontscale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF check that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF is in your config file for xfs and restart xfs. openoffice can detect fonts without the correct fonts.dir fonts.scale stuff but gimp needs the proper truetype indexing stuff. (It worked for me anyway) Hope this helps Robin
