Saving a font after you've created it (not downloading and saving)
#1
I find myself trying to recreate the font I used for my youtube thumbnails all the time.  Is there a way once I have the font edited that I can save it for later use? 

I have to resize every time, change it to the font I like, then apply affects.

You don't create fonts with Gimp. You may be applying effects to text. So if the questions is "Is there a way to just change the initial text and get the same effects applied automatically to it?", the answer is no. There may be ways to record what you did as a script...

You can create a bitmap "font". Not really a font, so it does not scale very well. But it may do what you require.

See here for the script (use version 16):

and here for many "fonts" created in Gimp:
