In Gimp 3.0 in Sequoia, the first font in Gimp's list is "Sans-Serif." I set a sample in that font and then looked for another font like it. I set the same sample in Tahoma and Verdana and Sans-Serif looks exactly like Verdana. Not Helvetica, not Arial, not San Francisco, not its own "System Font Regular." Why does Gimp use Verdana? Does your Gimp use Verdana as the default sans?
Gimp does what the GTK library does.
First, that's not very useful without knowing what the GTK library does, so I would ask that. Except:
Second, I don't think Gimp 3.0 uses the GRK library. There's a gtkrc file in ~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10, but none in the corrresponding folder for Gimp 3.0. I found various support files for GTK2, including a ~/Library/Application Support/Gtk2 folder, but according to Wikipedia GTK2 is no longer supported.
Further, I can't find a GTK library on the drive.
I'll try to find another Gimp support site.
Gimp 2.x used the no longer supported GTK v2. Gimp 3.x moved to GTK v3 (in fact it was this migration that motivated the change in the version number, even if the similarity between the version numbers of GTK and Gimp are just a coincidence).
I'm saying this looking at the Gimp source code. For instance, the meson.build file that list all the requirements:
Code:
gtk3_minver = '3.24.0'
gtk3 = dependency('gtk+-3.0', version: '>='+gtk3_minver)or the 839 C source files that contains #include <gtk/gtk.h>. or the 20581 calls to functions with names that start with gtk_, or that Gimp programing doc that points to a GTK doc in its "Dependencies" section.
And by the way, if GTK is now a "Graphics Tool Kit", its first version was a "Gimp Tool Kit" because guess what it was written for.
