Description Matt 2004-04-07 13:50:22 UTC 
I open up GIMP and DOS runs, it yells at me and tells me it cannot load MS Sans 
Serif 8. This is all fine and dandy until you try to save (save, save as, save 
copy), as soon as you enter a name and hit ok..."**(process:4294492343):WARNING 
(recursed)**: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8" falling back to "Sans 8" 
aborting..."

Then you hit ok, and "Runtime Error!     Program: C:\PROGRAM FILES\GIMP-2.0
\BIN\GIMP-2.0.exe     abnormal program termination"

And then the program crashes. I'm sure you can see how not being able to save 
could be a problem.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2004-04-07 15:16:08 UTC 
Most probably an encoding problem. What locale are you running in? What is the
encoding of your filesystem?
Comment 2 Matt 2004-04-07 19:30:21 UTC 
I don't know, can  you tell me how to find out?
Comment 3 Raphaël Quinet 2004-04-07 19:50:43 UTC 
You seem to be using Windows, so the first thing that would be nice to know is
which version of Windows you are using (2000, XP, ...) including service packs
if any.  Then what kind of filesystem are you using?  You can find that in the
properties of the drive on which you have installed the GIMP (NTFS, FAT32, ...).
Finally, check if you have set any locale-specific variables in your environment
such as LANG or any LC_* variable.  If not, then at least tell us in what
language you are running Windows and the GIMP.  That should already help us a bit.
Comment 4 Matt 2004-04-08 12:29:23 UTC 
It's Windows ME, the filesystem is FAT32, and everything is in English.
Comment 5 Pedro Gimeno 2004-04-08 15:01:02 UTC 
This might be a problem with the GTK-Wimp theme. Please read
http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/faq.html and tell us if that helps.
Comment 6 weskaggs 2004-09-28 20:52:05 UTC 
I am going to resolve this as NOTGNOME, on the grounds that it is almost
certainly one of the known Windows font issues.
Comment 7 Raphaël Quinet 2005-01-22 09:48:59 UTC 
Regardless of what the original problem was, it caused the GIMP to attempt to
display a warning message.  But because of font configuration issues, that
warning message could never be displayed and instead a fatal "recursed" error from
Pango caused GLib to abort as described in bug #163740 and others such as bug
#112401.
