Description David W. Price 2004-03-26 11:17:12 UTC 
Installed GTK+ 2 and GIMP 2.

Double clicked on the desktop icon to start GIMP.

GIMP startup dialog appears. "Fonts" message appears in the dialog.

A command prompt window appear with the following message:
"(gimp-2.0.exe:2680): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gconvert.c: line 498 (g_convert): 
assertion `str != NULL' failed"

Microsoft error report dialog appears.  "Don't Send" button is clicked.

This affects Windows 2000 SP4 as well.
Comment 3 Jakub Argasiński 2004-03-26 12:43:51 UTC 
I confirm, the same here. Windows XP Professional (PL), SP1.
Comment 4 Gary Marshall 2004-03-26 13:31:35 UTC 
This is the same as Bug 132366 - there's more info there.
Comment 5 Robert Tackett 2004-03-26 20:51:56 UTC 
I have the same problem on Windows XP Professional, but only when I have other 
programs open.
Comment 6 Pedro Gimeno 2004-03-27 01:44:22 UTC 
Note that this is apparently caused by one or more bad font files. There's also
more info in bug #136786.
