[Gimp-user] how to add new fonts?

[Akshay Narayan]

Hello.

i am under the impression that any font in window$ must be detected by GIMP text tool.
unfortunately, it is not happening so.
is there any specific method to add the fonts to gimp?
if so how?

i m still using GIMP 2.4 , yet to upgrade :D

thanks,
Akshay
