Fonts can't be used - Deraleous - 10-18-2019
Hi guys, can anyone help me with this: This often happens when I install new fonts. Gimp lists them as <name>#number and when I select them gimp shows them as the default font.
Here's a screenshot: [attachment=3299]
Thanks, Dera

No Universal Fix I have seen some similar reports. Fonts ( otf fonts?) working in other applications but not Gimp. Listed like your example.
I do not know what is wrong, looks like a naming convention in the fonts file (or maybe not)
A bit tedious but the otf font(s) name(s) can be 'adjusted' and resaved as a ttf using Fontforge.
In Windows, always a problem if the font(s) was initially installed system wide. Try and remove what you installed.
For that particular font the converted ttf's attached.
Unzip and put the files in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\fonts
In Win10 / Gimp 2.10.12 looks like this. https://i.imgur.com/CcNopVj.jpg

I do a similar thing in Linux and just to make them easy to find, tag the fonts if you want to
