Font Bug
Last modified: 2004-03-28 12:35:25 UTC
I opened up an existing picture in GIMP in jpeg format. I then used the text tool to add text, and I went into the font tool as well. In a few seconds, an command prompt window pops up and gives a bunch of errors and GIMP closes.
You didn't provide any info on the bunch of errors that showed up and that would have been the interesting part. But I guess you have fonts w/o an Unicode character mapping. This problem is fixed in newer versions of Pango. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101856 ***
