GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 141018
GIMP exits when scrolling down in the font bar
Last modified: 2004-04-24 23:05:20 UTC
I am using GIMP 2.0.0 Windows release downloaded from Jernej Simoncic. I downloaded it, installed it, created a new file, and used the text tool to enter text. Then when I click on the Font icon to change the font, I get a scroll box of all the fonts. When scrolling down in that box, suddenly the GIMP program completely exits. It is possible that this has to do with fonts that are invalid somehow or that GIMP can't read. GIMP 1.2 could not read some of my fonts.
This has been reported about 243 times. Fixed in 2.0.1, which Jernej has not yet packaged. Meantime see http://gug.sunsite.dk/forum/?threadid=1573 and http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/faq.html for suggestions.

Please note that the fix is _not_ in gimp-2.0.1. It's in pango >= 1.3.1.
