[Gimp-user] Font problem in user interface

[iollie <forums gimpusers com>]

UNSOLVED !

i read the whole article, downloaded FontAgent9 (btw wayyys better than Fontbook
but VERY expensive as an alternative)
-deleted fonts caches (all), restarted, same problem :((
-made a Timemachine safe (just in case...), closed ALL apps, typed your formula
in Terminal, validated with pass, got a message about fonts (so, it DID
sumptin'), closed, restarted... SAME ISSUE ON GIMP 2.10.12 :((

i use Catalina 10.15 latest version today.
the problem is like i had a QWERTY keyboard (i use AZERTY, I'm french) : when I
type 2 i get a 4 on my box. WHEREAS in the text editor window I HAVE MY CORRECT
SPELLING !

i regret my good old 2.8.2 which NEVER failed. although the selections did no
more appear in Catalina.
How do we do ?

Any help that doesn't need a terminal-toolbox-specialist ? I mean, rather
disappointing when my Mac ALWAYS works without having to f***k about like in
Windoz.
thank you Gimpusers, i LOVE Gimp, and do NOT want anythang else.
