GIMP Default Text Tool KB ID 0001868
Problem
I’ve mentioned before how much I like GIMP, I use it for all my graphics needs these days. And if you a regular visitor you will know I produce a lot of screenshots with/without text. To do that I use a font called ‘Avalon’. So it’s a pain when there’s been an update and the default font changes to something else. If you need to put lots of text on an image, and each time you need the set the font you can see why that would be annoying.
Solution: GIMP Default Text Tool
The correct way to fix this problem is first set the correct settings in the tool (font name and size for example). Then go to Gimp-2.10 > Preferences > Tool Options > Tick (or place a cross in) ‘save tool options on exit‘ > Press the “save tool options now‘.
That should rectify the problem.
