re: Anybody use Gimp?

This is my first time trying to use it. I uninstalled and reinstalled directly from gimp.org and I don't get the no font message anymore. Now when I'm have trouble editing the text in the image. No matter what I do it still shows the original text. I've changed it both by double clicking and right clicking the the text in the layers window and it still shows the original text on the image even though it has been change in the layers window.
