font color issue - liamrowan - 05-23-2021
I am typing text into a text box but not seeing the words. I see the cursor moving, but no text. The background behind the text layer is ivory and the font color is showing as black in the font color window. However, when I open the Text Editor, the text appears to be the same color as the ivory background layer, which would explain why I can't see it. But since the color in the font window is black, I don't know what to do. I changed the font color to colors other than black, but still can't see the text. I tried to attach the xcf file but it appears to be too large, so I attached a screenshot to give an idea of what I'm seeing.
Ideas? Thx for assist!

You appear to be trying to place the text outside the boundaries of your image; it's an easy mistake to make. To type where you are trying to type, you would need to go to the menu, select Image/Canvas Size, and enlarge the height of the image.
