So if someone needs to edit a text layer later, she should have a chance to get the same (or reasonably similar) results by installing the same font files. The text layer will definitely be saved to XCF as pixel data so that it doesn't need to be rendered unless someone edits it. We will only add the necessary info so that it can be edited later. Sven
