Find name of fonts used within Gimp xcf file

Is there a way to find name of fonts used within Gimp .xcf file?

From a linux console

grep -aPo 'font "(.*?)"' file.xcf

Sample output:

$ grep -aPo 'font "(.*?)"' file.xcf
font "HP Simplified Italic"
font "Freehand521 BT"
font "Freehand521 BT"

Also you can look at the xcf with nano:

nano file.xcf

Apart from opening the file in a text editor, I found another way to do so from within GIMP, mentioned in a German GIMP forum.

This is a Python script that can be executed from the GIMP's built-in Python console:

for image in gimp.image_list(): for layer in image.layers: try: layer.parasite_find('gimp-text-layer').data except AttributeError: pass

It runs across all images loaded, across all layers, and dumps the data of all text layers, including font names.
