Get the text-info python plugin here; 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/

When it is installed, if you right-click on any layer in the Layers 
listn there is an additional item at the bottom of the menu: "Show text 
information".

Then try this:

* create an image, and add a text layer.

* save the image to XCF (but don't quit yet)(the text information is 
generated only when the image is saved after the text layer has been 
created)

* use "Show text information", it shoud say something like this;

Text layer "AAAAA": (text "AAAAA"
(font "Gilgongo")
(font-size 60.000000)
(font-size-unit pixels)
(antialias yes)
(language "en-ie")
(base-direction ltr)
(color (color-rgb 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000))
(justify left)
(box-mode dynamic)
(box-unit pixels)
(hinting yes)

(this appears in the Error Console dialog if you have one, otherwise it 
will be a popup).

* Close the image, re-open it

* Re-use "Show text information". Is the text info still there?
