Description Petter Sundlöf 2003-09-19 07:58:01 UTC 
The Text tool does not allow multiple styles (font, size, hinting/no
hinting, antaliasing or none, colour, justification, indent, line spacing
and so on) inside one block of text.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2003-09-19 09:17:27 UTC 
Perhaps one day we will even implement this but certainly not for 2.0.
Comment 2 Maurits Rijk 2004-05-26 13:26:14 UTC 
Setting a few target milestones now that 2.2 is getting closer.
Comment 3 Petter Sundlöf 2004-07-28 12:39:30 UTC 
Does this have to be implemented in Pango?
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2004-07-28 12:54:04 UTC 
No, it can be implemented in GIMP but it's a rather large change and there are
more important improvements to the text tool which should come first.

I would really like to see this option. It's one of these things which make people say that Photoshop is "better".

Yes, I'd also like to see this feature included, although there are definately more important issues with the text tool in my opinion (bug #125144 and #169616).
Comment 10 Ettore Atalan 2009-12-24 12:32:42 UTC 
In my opinion this would be an important improvement to the text tool. Multiple styles (inside a text box) are essential in almost every word-processing program and indispensable when GIMP is supposed to compete with Photoshop.
Comment 11 Sven Neumann 2009-12-24 19:31:20 UTC 
GIMP is not supposed to compete with Photoshop. We have a vision for GIMP, but it is certainly not about competing with Photoshop.

Please refrain from adding such comments to bug reports. If you have a patch that implements this feature, feel free to add it. But please don't add comments that only express your interest in a particular feature.
Comment 12 Michael Natterer 2010-03-07 00:29:34 UTC 
I declare multiple styles as existing now. Bugs with the new feature
or enhancement requests should be filed as new bugs.
