Description George 2005-01-21 23:01:10 UTC 
(I have WINDOWS ME and PIV-1.5GHz)
When i open Gimp 2.0, an MS-DOS dialog appears that says around 100 times the:

**(gimp-2.0.exe:4294458451):WANRING**: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8"
falling back to "Sans8".

And at the same time GIMP loads and when it completes the loading this MS-DOS
window stays there. If i close it, the GIMP closes. Also when i made some
converts between jpg->bmp or other, then a similar window appears too.

What sould i do? Here is my e-mail: georgecm9000@hotmail.com
Will you give me an answer or do i have to look somewhere for it.........?

Thank you......

Note to the reporter: you should upgrade to a more recent version of the GIMP.
The new version does not display the console window anymore (what you call a
"MS-DOS window", although it isn't).  It displays a standard error dialog instead.
You may still have problems with the "MS Sans Serif 8" font as described in bug
#112401, but there are some workarounds explained in the gimp-win FAQ:
