Is that the same version as is currently in the Intrepid repository?
That's the version I use: 2.4.7-1ubuntu1

The fonts in the xfonts-efont-unicode-ib package are listed as
h14_bi.pcf, h16_b.pcf, etc., both by the Gimp and other programs, so I
suppose that's because they don't have proper names. Selecting one of
them has no effect on how text typed in the Text Editor dialog is
displayed however. Not for text in Latin alphabet nor for text in kana
or kanji.

Selecting a different font (say, 'DejaVu Sans') only affects the Latin
text, not the kana or kanji characters. 'DejaVu Sans Bold Oblique' would
result in the Latin text becoming bold and italic, but the kana/kanji
text remains unchanged.

The font selector in for example the Gnome Control Center has a separate
list of font styles (as opposed to including them in the font name).
That means that when I select 'Italic' in that list, that style is
applied to the text in the rendered sample, regardless of the characters
used. This is what I would like to be able to do in the Gimp too.

Does this explain the issue more clearly? Let me know if you need more
info.
