Description Nathanael King 2008-05-18 08:20:45 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use Windows Vista
2. Have over 1,200 fonts
3. Use a normal speed computer (not a blazing fast one)


Stack trace:


Other information:
The problem is that Gimp crashes if it takes too long to load the fonts in.  I believe that it is still processing the font data to build the font cache, but Windows Vista determines that the application is unresponsive, and therefore forces it to close before it can complete building the font cache.  This means that Gimp never builds the cache and therefore can never load.  Please help!

I can't help but laugh at how Vista behaves here :)

Isn't there a way to turn this off?
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2008-05-18 13:28:50 UTC 
Well, what we really need is some way to get feedback while the fonts are being loaded. This is handled in bug #449848.
