Freefont, True Type and Patterns with The Gimp

LinuxFocus.org has a tutorial article on using fonts and patterns with The Gimp. “The script-fu’s from Gimp use by default fonts that the different distributions may not install automatically. These fonts come in two packages: Freefont and Sharefont. The former is free, and the later is distributed under the shareware licence, but both are very interesting. Without a doubt they make a great difference to the presentation abilities of X.”
