The 'Humor Sans' text appeared, just as you described. Thanks to everyone for the responses! What I'll do is send her the XCF file I have now, so she can experiment with moving some parts of the image around AND I'll help her get the fonts used installed so she can make actual text changes.

Check that this font isn't installed on your system, and open the XCF.

If I send her the XCF file, will the fonts be embedded in it, such that she won't have to have the fonts actually installed on her system or will the XCF contain references to the font, requiring her to have them installed on her system? If you are sending only an xcf file your friend won't see the fonts as you do unless they also have those fonts installed. If you want to send font samples you should create an image, or PDF file, using the fonts. -- Cheers!

Even though the fonts aren't installed, the font face will still appear in the file when opened? Thanks! Peace...
