Quote:Hello everyone,
I'm having a very frustrating issue with the Text Tool in GIMP 3.2.2 on Windows. Even though I select different fonts from the list, GIMP keeps using the default system font only.
Here's the situation:What I’ve tried so far:
- I select a font (such as Cambria Bold or any Arabic font), and the name appears correctly in the tool options.
- However, the text on the canvas doesn’t change at all; it remains in the default font.
- This happens with both Arabic and English text.
- I’ve already tested this on two different computers, and the exact same thing happens on both.
I’ve seen some users online using the same version, and the fonts work perfectly for them. Is there a specific setting or library update I’ve overlooked?
- Changing the font from both the sidebar and the on-canvas editor.
- Manually typing the font name.
- Resetting the tool’s options to default.
- Checking the font folders in the settings.
I’ve attached a screenshot showing my settings where the font name is selected, but it’s clear that the text on the screen isn’t applying the style.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
