:) I might... but how am I to know? Or how do i find out what package I could be missing as long as I don't even know what packages I might need? > How did you install your SuSE system? YaST2?

It was installed with yast2 almost always just following the defaults... and I have not done major changes yet... > As a SuSE user (etc.), this sounds to me like a SuSE problem.

I have in the meanwhile tried to start an xterm with the same long font description from the text-tool dialog and it won't show the fonts either... so it is not a gimp-issue, obviously... But what I don't understand is this: How can I use those fonts in kmail and how is the Gimp able to display the fonts correctly the text tool dialog, but not able to use them at the same time? > (as a side note... what do you think of the gimp chapter in the > applications manual?) Unfortunately, I have never had the books for SuSE 7.3. The last release I bought was 7.0 and I gave the applications manual to my mother after I set up a Linux box for her...
