The “Fonts” dialog is used for selecting fonts for the Text tool. It also allows you to refresh the list of available fonts, if you add new ones to your system while GIMP is running.
This dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section 第 2.3 节 “对话框和停靠” for help on manipulating it.
You can access it:
from the main menu: → → ;
from the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on
and selecting
→ ,
from the Tool Options for the Text tool. If you click on the “Font” button, a Font-selector pops up. In the lower right corner is a button that, if pressed, brings up the “Fonts” dialog.
In the menu, there is a list of detached windows which exists only if at least one dialog remains open. In this case, you can raise the “Fonts” dialog from the main menu: → .
The most basic thing you can do is to select a font by clicking on it: this font will then be used by the Text tool. If instead of clicking and releasing, you hold down the left mouse button with the pointer positioned over the font example (“Aa”), a window showing a larger text example will pop up (“Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs”).
