I used to need this a lot, and I found fontmatrix impenetrable and couldn't find anything else that really did what I wanted, so I wrote a little Python script, Fontasia, that also lets you group your fonts into groups you choose, like script, monospace, computer etc. http://shallowsky.com/software/fontasia/ https://github.com/akkana/scripts/blob/master/fontasia While inside GIMP, I use Windows->Dockable Dialogues->Fonts as has already been mentioned, and use the down-arrow in that dialog to step through fonts. If I'm not sure, I'll use Duplicate Layer, turn off one of the duplicate layers then continue stepping through fonts with the later that's still visible, so I end up with several text layers showing the same text in different fonts. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
