Re: [Gimp-user] Mixing type fonts or sizes on the same layer

[Ofnuts <ofnuts gmx com>]

To add a second text layer you start the Text tool and click anywhere
outside an existing text layer.

Since Gimp 2.8 you can have mixed font text in a single text layer. The
text you create gets the defaults set by the Tool options, but you can
select text like you would do in a word processor and change its font,
size, and spacing using the on-canvas font widget.
