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?
