Rich Text editing (sort of)

Hi,

The demand for a way of combining various text colors and fonts, along with other features in gimp text is high - even I myself need these features a lot.

So, several months ago I started a plug-in to work around the text tool and provide some of these features, like the Dynamic Text did in the old times.

I came back to it today, poured in some hacking time, and came up with a first usefull, if little, version.

It can: create a "text" layer with varying font-family, sizes and colors. All left aligned.

Edit back such a layer.

---- The major drawback right now is that one has to select a portion of the text after it was typed in, and then select the font (family and size) and color to apply to that text.

There are quite a few other bugs - but I find it rather usefull already.

People interested, please, give a try: http://pion.sytes.net:4080/pyrichtext.py

It would be a lot more appreciated if you added this feature to the text tool instead of adding back the akwardness of a plug-in for doing this stuff.
