Forgive me if I tell you anything is obvious to you, but I see you typed 
"This is a text" so, "This is a text" is what Gimp shows.

If you want to type anything in other language, I think you must type " 
红房子" and then, select a font with support for this chararacter set.

In other words, the language is not defined by the typefont itself, the 
typefont could have or not support for one language or other, but the 
language is defined for the words you type.

I Repeat: May be I'm wrong and I'm tell you something that you know yet, 
then forgive me. But I think you typed "This is a text" on english, so, 
maybe this message could help you.

Tell me if this helps you or I'm telling nonsense things! ;)
