Description Morten Welinder 2005-08-08 15:00:38 UTC 
Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed:
(glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)
aborting...

There is very little Gnumeric code involved here.  Basically gnumeric is
crashing in the middle of a file chooser dialog with a pango assertion.

The pango version used is something like 1.8.x

Owen: I don't see any particular reason for crashing the program at that point.
It ought to be able to limp along after issuing a g_barf of some kind.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2005-08-08 19:32:22 UTC 
The assumption is made throughout a lot of the code that items are
non-empty ... I can't even begin to predict the sorts of weird inexplicable
stuff that would happen if this was made weaker. (Remember, most 
windows users will never see a Gtk-Critical)

It would certainly be very good to fix the problems that are resulting in this,
of course.
