The on-canvas text editor works /very/ differently from the earlier "in its own box" text editor. The first thing I would try is opening the image, selecting the text layer I want to work on, activate the Text tool, and click on the text to bring up the on-canvas editor. Then /select/ all the text with the mouse, then /change/ the font name in the small on-canvas control box. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
