GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300399
GIMP-Win crashes when trying to open a file
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:52:08 UTC
This error occcurs on a computer with Windows ME and Microsoft Word 2000. When I try to open a file in a directory that contains Microsoft Word documents, the Open Image window fails to render the icons of the Word documents. The following error message appears: Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting... When the OK button is clicked, another message appears: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program C:\PROGRAM FILES\GIMP-2.0\BIN\GIMP-2.2.EXE abnormal program termination When the OK button is clicked, GIMP shuts down.

I think this is actually a dup of bug #149643; see also bug #151068. The fix is to upgrade to a more recent version of Pango (the font-rendering library that GIMP uses), if it is possible for you to do that.
