Description Michelle Canfield 2004-05-26 05:08:09 UTC 
Create a new image.  Click on the add text to image, then click on the font 
button.  If I click to scroll through the fonts, an error screen appears: 
Warning unable to open unicode char map from font file..and it goes on from 
there.  Different instances there are differnt fonts listed.  I think it 
depends on how far I get in the list.  Closing the error window closes the 
program.

I read on another webpage that deleting a font called profont clears up this 
problem.  I don't have profont on my computer, so this doesn't work for me.  I 
am running Win XP on a HP computer purchased in March of 2003.

No, this is not related to Profont. It's a problem in Pango that has been fixed
a while ago. You will have to upgrade Pango (or wait till an updated binary
installer becomes available).
