Help! Plugin killed by last update

[Ofnuts]

The add-on manager doesn't work for plugins. These are only registered when Gimp starts. No too hard to make them distinct:

• Change the "group_chfont" (first line after "register(")
  
• Change the "Change font..." to describe the behavior better
  

The changes to make it better for the general public are:

• Select layers with the link icon (it is easy to link everything in two clicks). Linking a group would mean to act on all text layers it contains (with subgroups if recursive).
  
• Optionally correct the layer position. Gimp keeps the position of the top left corner of the layer, but in many cases you would like to keep the center of the layer at the same place (or some other corner)
  
• For the option above, use either the layer boundary, or a tight-fit rectangle around the text.
  
• Other options (spacing, alignment, hinting) are not availabe in the API... 
  

Edit: actually these other options are in the API, but since Gimp doesn't resize the layer when you change the text characteristics, you have to compute the required layer size yourself and taking these in account is not easy.
