When you enter text, there are two places where you can set the text characteristics:
- In the Tool options dialog (the one on the right, in the picture). This dialog is normally a permanent part of your Gimp UI (not floating as displayed here), and displays the options for the current tool. If you don't see it, Windows>Dockable dialogs>Tool options. This dialog set values for all the whole text, unless superseded by the other one. These options are the one that you can make permanent, as per Rich's indications.
- In the text "on-canvas" dialog (the one above the text). This dialog sets values for the text selected (I,IM, in he picture), like in word processors.
