Re: [Gimp-user] Help with 2.10.30
Hi Paula, When I work on images the image I import is usually the base layer and is at the *bottom* of a stack. Anything I add is almost always on top. Whatever works for you.

Are there default settings for such preferences that I might not know are there due to their names or technical terms? Thank you so much for giving me a hand and helping me to find the answer.

I followed your suggestions and I clicked on the text editor in the Tool Options box to see my input and it was there. Then I went to the Layers dialog, selected Stack, and reversed the order of the layers so Layer 1 was at the top. I saw the text I entered was in the layer with the large T in it but it was near the bottom of the stack. I selected that layer, moved it to the top, where it should have been, and the text appeared as it should be. I will be looking for a default setting for how the layers stack, with the Base Layer at the top. Are there default settings for such preferences that I might not know are there due to their names or technical terms? Thank you so much for giving me a hand and helping me to find the answer.

Which operating system? E.g. Windows 10? Mac? A Is it a font that came with Microsoft Word on the Mac? What font? If you change the image to Mode->RGB does it then work?

[Gimp-user] Help with 2.10.30
My partner has no problem adding a text layer to a gif image using 2.8.22 Adding a text layer to jpg with 2.10.30 works fine. Both of us have tried to add a text layer to a gif image using 2.10.30 using the text editor and pasting input from the clipboard and the result is invisible text, but if I move the cursor over the area where the text has been inserted I can see the rectangular boxes showing spaces where characters have been inserted. I check the font, size and, color before adding text but it is not visible. I have looked at and tried settings in View, Layers, Images, Preferences, Windows, every possibility I could change before coming to this list. I need your help, please. Thank you.
