Description Bibelo 2013-07-16 05:35:35 UTC 
Hello.

The Sans Font in this version is an old aliased ugly one that does not correspond to the previous ones I use or to the Bold and Italic ones.
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2013-07-16 08:05:48 UTC 
It's not a font per se, but an alias to a whole family of sans-serif fonts, of which the first one to be found is taken. This is handled by the configuration of the fontconfig library.

The core issue is probably a duplicate of bug 688593.
Comment 2 Jehan 2013-10-03 13:40:41 UTC 
Even though I am not sure what Bibelo means with an "old aliased ugly" font, I indeed think this is the same as bug 688593, which is itself for sure same as bug 708110.

Bibelo, could you confirm the following fix your issue:

Please edit:
c:\Program Files\Gimp 2\etc\fonts\fonts.conf (or wherever else it is installed,
but that's the default path)

You'll find one configuration path in it, a long one, ending in conf.d. Delete
all the path but the "conf.d" part, save the file, restart GIMP.

Let's assume it is a duplicate.
