Description balletelizabeth 2005-08-23 02:29:44 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Windows ME

When I click "open" under "file" and try to go open a picture, GIMP gives me
this message:

Pango_ERRORxx:file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape: assertion failed:(glyphs->
num_glyphs 0)
aborting...

This has happened repeatedly, even after restarting GIMP several times. Any idea
what's going on?
Comment 1 Teppo Turtiainen 2005-08-23 05:55:44 UTC 
Does this happen with all images or just one particular image? If it only
happens with one image, can you please attach the image to this bug.
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2005-08-23 10:40:16 UTC 
Well, that is most likely just another instance of the well-known Pango bug.
Your problem is that GTK+ tries to use a broken font that doesn't provide an
Unicode character mapping. Switching to a different system font might help.
Comment 3 tumadre165 2005-08-23 19:03:49 UTC 
Are you using a custom theme? I had the same problem/error when I was using a
custom theme with a different font, changing back to the windows xp default
theme fixed the problem for me..

^^^

sorry I did not notice your OS was windows ME...Im not sure if windows ME
supports custom themes...
