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 every where on it..

Ofnuts post covered the difference between the on-canvas tool options and the Tool Options dock. If you have lost the dock then my advice is reset Gimp back to defaults before fixing any of the various tools including fonts.

This demo video  https://youtu.be/WjGi2LuaQB8 duration 5 minutes
Starts off with resetting layout back to default.
Setting up a default font and size for when you start up.
Gimp will remember the last setting for any particular tool per session so I think what you also need is set a preset for the default font..
The help page for presets is https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-dialo...ets-dialog 
and a bit at the end of the video.




Hi Rich2005 and ofnuts…  thanks for your replies on this issue... I've reviewed the video and done more poking around
and I have set my default font and size... as well, doing that I also tinkered with font colors and I'm good to go with that as well.
So, thanks again...
