I always have people asking me how to download fonts and brushes to GIMP so why not just make a tutorial?!<br><br><br><br><br><br>For the fonts I always use <a href="http://www.dafont.com"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://www.dafont.com</a>; <br><br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 1: Open dafont.com</span><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 2: Pick your category</span> (I chose Fancy-Decorative)<br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step2.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step2.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 3: After you click your chosen category find the font you want</span><br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 4: Once your font is chosen, click DOWNLOAD next to the font you picked.</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step4.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step4.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 5: When a new little window comes up, click OPEN</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step5.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step5.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold"><br>Step 6: If this window pops up click Allow.</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step6.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step6.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 7: Now select the font file and copy it</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step7.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step7.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 8: Find your GIMP folder and open it</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step8.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step8.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 9: Find the Font folder and open it</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step9.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step9.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 10: Go to Edit and Paste the font you chose ot download</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step10.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step10.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Step 11: Now your font should be there!</span><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step11.png"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/step11.png"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Now you can open GIMP and your font should be there when you use your font tool.

    <br><br>When GIMP is open, go to your toolbox<br>There is a big <span style="font-weight:bold">"A"</span> this lists all of your fonts

    I downloaded GIMP once and never upgraded it, so I am assuming that is why it won't work you you guys.<br>The version I use is GIMP 2. When it is loading there is a image of a planet.<br>So if you have that version, this should work.

    <span style="font-size:90">I have GIMP 2 as well, but 2.6 on my dad's computer. :\<br>It's a shame they have to move everything around whenever they upgrade it or the such.<br>It works on the computer I'm on now-because I have 2.<br>But on my dad's, I'm going to try and download the one they have on their site now to see if they fixed anything..otherwise I'm going to their support for it. >.></span>

    Yeah, I have Gimp 2. The fonts on Gimp are terrible, and my computer seems to dislike photobucket
    so all fonts I use aren't very good looking.

    You can also put the fonts in <span style="font-weight:bold">Computer > Windows > Fonts</span> and paste them in there, and then you can use them on any program. <br><br>I know about dates but it may just help some people
