Roll over the sample button (which does also open the font selection
dialog).
Thanks.  That does do what I wanted.

I must say, though, that this functionality is not easily discoverable.  I've been using Gimp for ~4 yrs, and although my use of the text tool is very limited, I feel very comfortable with Gimp's interface.  Rolling over the layer blend mode text field is kind of obvious because it has a list arrow on it indicating there are more options.  I would never have thought to try rolling over a button.  Perhaps a tool tip is in order when the pointer is paused on the button?
