that you can just as easily ask an ai to tell you. how to upload a font to gimp. (an image manipulation program. for linux here.)

but for as like a reminder to yourself. my current activities. journal-like in-a-way.

all you have to do to download some fonts. browsing...gasp...google fonts. finding one you like. and downloading to your downloads folder.

from there.

your gimprc will give you a hint to where gimp looks for fonts.

vi /etc/gimp/*/gimprc
(esc :q! to quit)

tells you the folder gimp looks for fonts. a dotfolder in your home directory (likely).

back to your downloads folder. unzip the font you downloaded from...gasp...google.

unzip ~/downloads_folder/the_font

then move it to the folder you found in the gimprc.

mv ~/downloads_folder/the_font.ttf ~/.gimp*/fonts/

maybe close & reopen gimp if you had it running.

as simple as.
