Re: [Gimp-developer] blocking fonts enumeration

Thanks for this!

The Linux in question is Debian.

Your solution sounds painstaking but functional.

Can I get a link to an appropriate example of a fonts.conf that does 
this? I understand it needs to be tailored to my specific system's 
fonts. I just need to know the syntax.

Thanks again!
