Distribution/Version: Win 98

GIMP drives me nuts when anything, and I mean ANYTHING that invokes the sans
serif font. This includes various scenarios that deal with saving pictures or
settings. For instance:

Trying to save a picture:

It occurs with all three saving options:

Save Picture OR Save as Copy OR Save as ->
You can type a new name into the dialogue box but when you hit the save button
you get ->

Dialogue Box One

**Warning [recursive]** . Couldn’t load font “MS Sans Serif 8” falling back to
“Sans 8”
aborting…

After clinking OK, the next box occurs:

Dialogue Box 2

Program C:\Progaram Files\Gimps\Bin\Gimp-2.2.exe
Abnormal Program Termination

CLicking OK causes total crash
