Basically: install the xfstt package, put the fonts you want to use in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype, run a xfstt --sync and tell the xserver where
it can find the font server with xset fp+ unix/:7101 (I have put this line
into the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 file (as I use xdm) ... gimp will then
automatically recognice the aditional fonts.

There is a FAQ in /usr/doc/xfstt/ ... for further information
