I copied a bunch of .ttf and otf fonts into ~/.fonts, made sure permissions where set to my user/group and ran fc-cache ~/.fonts.

Opened up GIMP and Geany but the fonts aren't available. Any idea what's up?

  • Try fc-cache -fv and see if its actually scanning ~/.fonts, and see how many fonts it finds. You may also get lucky and find that -f fixes it...

  • ~/.fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs

  • also, they appear to be under ./.fontconfig too but still not showing inside any apps?

I've used to face same problem but I've solved adding another folder instead of use the default gimp's .... Have you reviewed the GIMP's folders configuration ? Also you can add folder for example in your /home/user1561108/myFavFonts
