GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 135595
Text tool crashes upon using some fonts
Last modified: 2004-02-27 13:39:48 UTC
Hi I have GIMP 2.0 Pre 2 for Windows with the latest GTK. When I open it and try to use the text tool, when I navigate to some fonts such as MS PGothic, GIMP 2.0 Pre 2 crashes on me. Why is this so? I tried installing the new fontconfig dll but it doesn't work, I can't even find where my original fontconfig dll was or where it was. Is there a solution or is it a bug? If it is a bug will it be fixed in GIMP 2 Final?
The problem is fixed in pango >= 1.3.1 and Keith promised me to also fix it in an upcoming fontconfig release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101856 ***
