Hello everybody,
i have an old .xcf file with some text using a font which is not currently installed on my OS, so as soon as i try to correct the text, the font changes and i can't go back to the old font in any way. Fact is that the old one is correctly shown in the file as i open it, but i can't remember or find in any way its name. Is there any way to recover it in the file informations or anywhere else?

I don't know what that font would be, but it seems to me to be from the Broadway font family.

Try to open the .xcf file with an editor that can handle binaries like Notepad++(runs via wine here) or some hex editor and search for "font"
you might find something like this:
(font "Arial")
(font-size 15.000000)
(font-size-unit pixels)
(antialias yes)
(language "de-de")
(base-direction ltr)
(color (color-rgb 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000))
(justify center)
(box-mode dynamic)
(box-width 344.000000)
(box-height 24.000000)
(box-unit pixels)
(hinting yes)

Ofnuts should really answer this one, but for the record.
Still working with kubuntu 20.04 and Gimp 2.10 28 (PPA version with python2 added) I get the message box. Starting Gimp from console, still get message box, nothing in the console.
Which linux and Gimp are you now using ?
