Description kirstenbr 2005-08-26 03:34:07 UTC 
Distribution/Version: 98SE

After initiating GIMP, I select "file", "open", "C", "My Documents", and begin 
browsing through the files in the directory.  Usually within about 10 seconds 
into the scrolling process, I get the following error:
Pango-Error**.file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed:(glyphs-> 
num_glyphs>0)aborting
Comment 1 kirstenbr 2005-08-26 03:38:15 UTC 
I have recently installed this program, along with GTK Runtime environment - 
which I installed first, as per the instructions on the GIMP site.  So far I 
have been unable to use the program because I can't get past trying to browse 
for a picture file.
Please help!

The advice given in the FAQ doesn't work for you?

Comment 3 kirstenbr 2005-08-26 13:10:13 UTC 
Duh!  I tried to find those FAQ's after downloading and couldn't locate them!  I 
 did the uninstall of GTK, then re-install without GTK-Wimp as suggested.  I am 
now at least able to open a file and use the program for the first time - 
thanks!  Question - will I lose any functionality in the program by not having 
Wimp?
Thank you for your assistance,
Kirsten
