The font selection feature isn't working in GIMP 3.2.2 (it stays stuck on the default - HHH - 04-02-2026
أهلا بالجميع،
أواجه مشكلة محبطة للغاية مع أداة النص في برنامج GIMP 3.2.2 على نظام ويندوز. فرغم اختياري لخطوط مختلفة من القائمة، إلا أن GIMP يستمر في الكتابة بخط النظام الافتراضي فقط.
إليكم الوضع:
- أقوم بتحديد نوع الخط (مثل Cambria Bold أو أي خط عربي )، ويظهر الاسم بشكل صحيح في خيارات الأداة.
- ومع ذلك، فإن النص الموجود على اللوحة لا يتغير على الإطلاق؛ فهو يبقى بالخط الافتراضي الأساسي.
- يحدث هذا مع النصوص العربية والإنجليزية على حد سواء.
- لقد جربت هذا بالفعل على جهازين كمبيوتر مختلفين ، ويحدث نفس الشيء تمامًا على كليهما.
- تغيير الخط من كل من اللوحة الجانبية والمحرر الموجود على اللوحة.
- كتابة اسم الخط يدويًا.
- إعادة ضبط خيارات الأداة إلى الوضع الافتراضي.
- التحقق من مجلدات الخطوط في الإعدادات.
لقد أرفقت لقطة شاشة توضح إعداداتي حيث تم تحديد اسم الخط، ولكن من الواضح أن النص على الشاشة لا يطبق النمط.
أي مساعدة أو اقتراحات ستكون موضع تقدير كبير!

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!

I am not able to reproduce that problem. Selecting a font from tool options changes the font in the text box. Never a good idea to use the on-canvas tool except for a specific selection. Same with the old Editor window, that changed the font as well.
A long shot: Did you have a an older Gimp installation Gimp 2.10.x / Gimp 3.0.x ? Did Gimp 3.2.2 installation make a new User profile Gimp -> 3.2 ? Try making a new default profile. Disable any old profiles ( I renamed using -bak ) Start Gimp 3.2.2 to make a clean user profile. This a Win10 / Gimp 3.2.2

Most likely not that but a locale issue for Arabic text. Are you using an Arabic keyboard ? Is it rhe same problem with a latin QWERTY keyboard ?

Not really the problem but the default font becomes "Monospace" I can change that from Edit -> Ptreferences
Set a font in the Font tool options. Then lock in Preferences. Two places.
