You missed the tool options.
I am sorry, I made the standard stupid user mistake of only RTFM after asking 
the question.
In the 2.0 help it says double click the Text icon on the main menu and all is 
made clear.

[Gimp-user] gimp 2.0.4

2004-08-22 Thread Alf C Stockton
On my Slackware 9.1+ system with kernel 2.4.26 I have just upgraded to Gimp
2.0.4 and have the following issue.
1) Unless I am being stupid this later version of Gimp seems to have made all
the tutorials resident at www.gimp.org/tutorials redundant. I do not know enough
about the new environment to repair this else I would volunteer.
2) Text tool in the new gimp does not give me the option to select fonts or
text size or colour. Again please tell me what I have missed?

I'm also running Gimp 2.0.4 on Slackware (Slack 8) and the new text tool 
DOES allow you to select fonts and text size and color.

Take a look at this screenshot:
http://gimp.org/screenshots/linux_screenshot2.png
Below the toolbox we're all used to, you'll see the settings for the 
text tool, since the text tool is selected in the toolbox. Alternativ 
for Text is the the title of this area in the screenshot.

The Typsnitt field in the screenshot is for choosing the desired 
font.  In English, that would read Font.

The Storlek field in the screenshot is for choosing the desired font 
size.  In English, that would read Size.

The Farg field in the screenshot is for choosing the desired font 
color.  In English, that would read Color.

And so on  SO, when if you see the text tool settings tab/dialog 
appear similar to the screenshot above when you choose the text tool, 
then you should be able to do everything you want there.   I've changed 
my Gimp installation to have the options tabs for the tools appear in 
the same dialog as the layers tab, which is in a separate dialog.

Peace...
Tom

I don't think the tutorials are redundant. A lot of them have already
been updated for GIMP 2.0, some of them still need to be changed. If
you want to help, the web-page is in CVS (module gimp-web) and there's
a mailing-list (gimp-web) that you could subscribe to and offer your
help.

 2) Text tool in the new gimp does not give me the option to select

You missed the tool options.
