Hi Mike - Fonts aren't quite as intuitive (or maybe we're both just set in our ways) as in GIMP-1.2.x, but here's how it works:
1. Double click on the text tool in the toolbox. This will give you the tool's own dialog box, where you can set the font, the size, the color, and the alignment of the text you enter. When you click on the selector button at the right of the font name, you will get a dialog box with the six dozen liquor jugs text. There you can set the font style, if there are any variants. 2. Click in the image window. This will pop up an entry box where you can enter your desired text, also selecting left-to-right or right-to-left directionality. I think 1.3.x puts a whole lot of controls in the tools' own control panels. Once you've opened a single tool control panel, though, it will reflect the controls for whatever tool is active.
