Too many fonts - where are thay?

[AdmFubar]

Check the preferences in gimp. there should be a path to the fonts gimp can access in the path list in preferences. The paths are at the bottom of the preferences list.

You may wont to create a directory in your user directory for fonts. Then point gimp to that directory. This way you arent cluttering up your system's font directory with a large amount of fonts. (not to mention bogging your system down with large amount of fonts)
