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.
