O1. Open up any font resource website and look for the font that you would like to download.
(In this case, I use dafont. Any resource will work.)
O2. Click on that 'DOWNLOAD' button on the top right. The file should be loading.
O3. Search for the font file and there will be an icon with an 'A' in somecases, the font in stored in a multi-file folder.
Click on the folder until you find that icon.
(Tip: To keep your fonts organized. Make a new folder and store all your fonts.)
O4. Click on the font and this preview will appear.
O4. Click on the 'INSTALL' button with the blue/yellow shield
O5. RESTART GIMP and REFRESH the fonts tool.
O6. Check if font is fully downloaded
(If not, redo the whole process)
And you're done! Downloading fonts will benifit your poster in different genres. Typography will be your best friend. Like. Seriously. If the font doesn't fit the mood it will make the graphic...a bit out of place. Curly or cartoon fonts are best for happy/cute posters. While, serifs or grudges are best for angst/drama/horror posters.
I'm super sorry for those MAC users out there! Too poor por dat
