how to use different font? - Running_late - 02-06-2026
I want to use a different font. When I select 'text tool' from the left pane, then the tool options pane for text appears in the right. In the 'Font' field it has a default of 'Sans Serif'. I can start typing with, for example, 'book' and a pull down list of font names is shown. I can click on a name, but the font field is not changed. The text I type does not show the font I want.
Likewise, I can drag a rectangle in the body of the image and small toolbox appears above it. I cannot change the font name here either. Is there a way to do this?
I am using GIMP 3.08 (revision 1)
