Description Peter sarge 2006-01-16 21:25:14 UTC 
When I, for example, tries to save a scanned picture GIMP flags this message:

Pango-WARNING (recursed) **: Couldn't load font "MS Shell Dlg 8" falling back to "Sans 8"
aborting...

And then GIMP is closed down.

I can also get this message if I change the font folders under "Settings - folders - fonts".

In earlier 2.0 version this message was shown at startup of GIMP. Versions prior to 2.0 worked well for me.

I'm using a swedish language version.
