I am a relative newbie, but i have had problem changing font color in Gimp.  I have version 2.6.6, running on Vista Pro (on a macbook pro, btw).  I changed the color to red, which does show up, replacing the original black, in the toolbox.  When I type it in, and on the document as well, it remains black.  I have also tried to drag the color to the written text and nothing happens.  Is this a bug?  thanks!
