GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318840
Pango-WARNING (recursed) *** font problem?
Last modified: 2008-01-15 14:04:44 UTC
Distribution/Version: XP Home Edition (Chinese) try to select an area on the image, then press ctrl-c to copy the selection to clipboard, the following message is shown: Pango-WARNING (recursed) *** Couldn't load font "xxx" falling back to "Sans 9" aborting... after click ok on the dialog, GIMP closed without saving the image being edited. This problem happen many times, and is reproducable. However, it does not happen all the time.

I just tried again. This bug also exist in the stable 2.2.8. Exact procedure to ensure it always appear: 1. open a new image 2. write some text on the image 3. finish editing the text but keep the text as selected layer 4. use the marquee tool to select anywhere on the background image 5. press Ctrl-C
Known problem which is also handled in the FAQ. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 112401 ***
