Hi Gezim,

If you could make a feature so one can youse the arrows on the keyboard and see how a font looks, and check out the next font instead of having to click so many times. Also adding "letter spacing" feature wouldn't be too bad.

In the drop-down box from the text tool font button, there is a button "Open the font selector dialog". This dialog allows navigation by arrow keys. This is also a dockable, so you can add it to the dock beside (say) paint brushes so that it is easily accessible while you are using the text tool.

Hope this helps, Dave.

I've tried this before, but I don't get the wanted results. When the "font selection dialog" opens I click on fonts, and use the arrow key but the font type on the current selected text layer doesn't change. Does it need configuring in anyway?

Try doubleclicking on the text layer in the layers dialog. Then the fonts dialog should change the font on that layer.

Hope this helps, Simon

It does need a recent version of The GIMP (2.0pre4).
