Thank you so much for this information! I installed the brush manager and the font manager. Both help so much. Gimp loads much faster now, too! I appreciate the tip very much.

Yes, it's a good way to go with your Gimp.

They all work the same. Maybe your folders for your different fonts instead of Brushes, that is the only difference.

I wonder if they work on a mac version...something tells me that because they are python, then they should work ok

Yes. I didn't bother with the Font Manager cuz I think it would be mind boggling to separate them into different categories. There would be fat, thin, curly, round and so on. The patterns and gradients would also be hard to categorize
I do love the brush Manager though, I wouldn't want to be without it. I tried GURM but don't like it as well. Brush Manager is instant.


Just a reminder - this is an alternative (z małą zmianą:Fonts -> [ PPM - contex menu] -> Management Fonts...):

Pardon my ignorance, but I know nothing about scripting. If I put this in the plugins folder, after editing my path to Nexus Fonts, it will allow me to use Nexus Fonts with Gimp? I already have Nexus Fonts all set up with my fonts, so it'd be much easier. I'd appreciate your patience and help with this.

1. Download and unzip Switch Font.zip.
2. Switch Font.py is a plugin (which requires that you have Python - how? http://www.exp-media.com/content/extending-gimp-python-python-fu-plugins-part-1).
3. Place the Switch Font.py in the appropriate directory (how? http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=719).
4. Open the file Switch Font.py in Notepad + + (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.4.2.html).
5. Check lines 15 or NexusFont.exe located in this path: C: \ \ Program Files \ \ NexusFont \ \ NexusFont.exe - if NO - EDIT the program directory path NexusFont.
6. Restart Gimp (if it was running).
7. The GIMP-click PPM on any font.
8. In the dialog box, select Management Fonts ...
9. In the new window-management python_fu_font_switch Select program NexusFont
10. If all goes well the Nexus is booting up.
11. Share your fonts into groups [A] - PPM menu NexusFont - You can add any fonts in Gimp (C: \ Documents and Settings \ YUR NAME \. Gimp-2.8 \ fonts \) - an advantage -[b] that choose a font that you can see.
12. Reload fonts in Gimp and you can use it (without restart Gimp).

Be patient, English is not my language.

I just stumble on a GPL font manager, may be a interesting alternative to Nexus and the other closed source manager

Molly, the link is dead. Do you know where there are other instructions for the font manager? Thanks.

Sorry warrior, when I wrote that tutorial I was using the original plug-in script, then it was updated by ofnuts. Just so people wouldn't get confused, I deleted it.
I don't know if I can remember exactly all the steps now that it has been so long.
Which part are you stuck on?
Read through these posts and if you are stuck, let me know, I will try to help if I can.

You can try this line to sourceforge.net,
but I'm not sure if it's the same thing that Molly linked to.

http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/managementtools.shtml

Below is a screenshot of the entire page @ sourceforge.net...
