As a matter of interest you wouldn't know how to add white text to photo

ask this as another thread, still it is font related.
       

Add a new layer (I use the Layers, Channels & Paths Dialog), make it
transparent, select the text tool, select white as foreground color,
     

How ? see image attatched
Cannot see how to get text up ?
   

Use the main tool palette--the one with the File options and all the tool buttons like select, crop, colors etc. on it. You should have that palette open by default when you start Gimp.

You mean this one , snapshot276.jpg
but you click on  T  and all you get is snapshot277.jpg
and there is nothing to help you select text, font,and colour there.
Unless you refer to the dropdown list from a RMC of the cursor over the 
image ?

click on image, type text. That will leave your text a floating
selection, which you can anchor using the anchor button on the L, C & P
dialog.
