Description Roland Holder 2005-11-14 12:56:44 UTC 
Distribution/Version: SuSE 10.0

I use SuSE 10.0. When I wanted to start gimp (but also inkscape) per 'ssh -X
USER@HOST /opt/gnome/bin/gimp', gimp didn't start. The problem was that there
were not world readable truetype fonts installed on the SSH server. Changing the
permission to 744 solved the problem. 
Other programs, not part of gnome, i.e. scribus, xfe an konqueror started
without problems.
Would it be possible to change the behavior of gimp (and inkscape....) so it
starts up also without the right fonts permissions?
Thanks.

Actually this isn't a duplicate since this was filed twice by accident.
Resolving as INVALID.
