Hello,
I would like to use the new fonts I downloaded and stored in the font folder on my Mac with GIMP. However, it doesn't find them in the list of fonts.
What should I do and where should I put my new writing folder so that I can use it?
Thank you in advance

According to: http://darwingimp.sourceforge.net/howto.html
(Q.) Comment installer des polices ? ↑
(A.) Vous devez ajouter le dossier de polices de votre Mac dans les chemins de recherche de polices de Gimp : Fichier -> Préférences -> Dossiers -> Polices (développez le petit triangle pour voir cet élément).
Les dossiers de polices sur Mac sont :
/Library/Fonts et ~/Library/Fonts (~ représentant le dossier portant votre nom) -
Hello,
for example in the help section of dafont.com, there is a small help (dafont is a dedicated site).
Mac OS X recognizes TrueType or OpenType versions (.ttf and .otf) but not PC bitmap fonts (.fon).
The files are compressed, you may need a utility like Stuffit Expander.
On Mac OS X 10.3 or later (including the Font Book)
Double-click on the font file > "Install Font" button at the bottom of the window.
On any version of Mac OS X:
Place the files in /Library/Fonts (for all users),
or in /Users (or Utilisateurs)/Your_user_name/Library (or Bibliothèque)/Fonts (for you only).
On Mac OS 9 and earlier:
Old Mac fonts are no longer supported on dafont. You need to first convert the font files (.ttf or .otf) that you have downloaded.
Then drag the font suitcase into the System folder. The system will prompt you to put them in the Fonts folder.
