Set up the font and size in tool options then open Edit -> Preferences

In the Input Devices section click on Save Input Device Settings Now
Ok that and close. Example screenshot https://i.imgur.com/hNZOQ0O.jpg
You do not absolutely need to untick the Save xxxx on exit in this case as shown in the screenshot.
Although not a bad idea to set Gimp up to start the same way on every start-up.
Hi Rich2005... thanks for your reply to my issue...
- the only time I see any font and size is when I select the TEXT icon and start to enter
text either in a new canvas or an existing image ( I then see the small pop-up window with
this info which I can alter).
If it is an existing image and I position on existing text then I see the font and size
I originally used to enter the text. As soon as I move to another position on the image
it resets to - Sans-serif 62
- Also, I can not locate any option along the top tool bar on the main GIMP window which allows me to choose
text font, size etc. and I looked everywhere on it.
- I tried entering text (which allowed me to choose font and size) and then followed your steps below and then closed
GIMP and restarted it. I got the original default font and size, not the font and size I used.
So, obviously my attempts to set the new default font and size didn't work.
thanks Brian
