Looking for text effects in the gimp

Hi,
I have a artist friend I converted to using the gimp and inkscape, and he is having a problem. He keeps having to go back to his old PS software to do text effects. He started this poster in the gimp, but when it came time to apply text, he was having trouble.

You see the words "Come and play" and "The Doll House" on the poster was done in PS everything else is the GIMP.

If you could point out a tutorial that can manipulate text while keeping it in text mode would be (in his word) "the sh.. that makes him uninstall Photoshop."

Thanks in advance, any help would be wonderful.

Sadly, I think text effects are one area that gimp is lacking in. He might be better off using PS for high quality text.
