Thanks Rich. That clears up a lot of confusion. I returned the theme to the
default - I like it.

One thing that's really nice about  PrintMyFont is that I can save it to a RTF
file. So I can always compare the GIMP font list to it and delete the fonts not
used by GIMP. The guillotine trick didn't seem to work well for me and it may be
too time consuming

In all you've given me some good tips - I appreciate it
