Plaza Swash is only the second additional font I've installed, the first being Edwardian which works perfectly in Gimp. In the Mac world you typically use Fontbook to manage fonts for the system and that's seems to be how Gimp reads all the other fonts. When I point the fontconverter web app to it and click convert the fontconverter simply states 'Invalid font file, did you remember to choose one?' But this font shows up in Word, etc. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution? It is a true type font and shouldn't present a problem. This is not the fist time I've installed new fonts, it's just the first time I cannot get one to work. As I said I'm modifying existing work and I need my work to match. It does appear in every other program I have that can access fonts, I just cannot get it to appear in Gimp. However, using the text tool in Gimp, this font does not appear in the list. No problem there as Plaza Swash shows up in the list as being perfectly accessible. The originator sent me the font for installation into my (Mac) system, which I did using Font Book. I'm working on a project modifying some existing poster art that already contains a font called Plaza Swash. I'm not usually that guy, but I'm truly stuck with this one. Today I upgraded from a 2.6 version of Gimp to 2.8.4 in an attempt to solve this rather vexing problem.įirst, sorry about posting a problem as my introduction.
