I ran into a problem with gimp.  I had 2.2 installed, but the last time
I started it up, I did not have any text in the menus.  The menus worked
and had icons in them, but no text like File, Settings, etc.

I then went out and got gimp-2.4.  It compiled very nicely and is now a
simple CMMI application.  Some of the requirements are

GTK+ version 2.10.13 or newer
GLib (>= 2.12.3)
Pango (>= 1.12.2)
freetype2 newer than version 2.1.7
fontconfig 2.2.0 or newer

I did the configure and make and make check.  All tests passed.

I then installed the new gimp, but I still have the text problems (No
menus).  I figure I did something to a setting of some kind, but have no
idea what.  All my KDE programs are fine.  Seamonkey uses gtk+2 and is fine.

Running gimp from the command line gives the message:

(gimp:5026): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output.
the offending font is 'Bitstream Vera Sans Not-Rotated 10'

Ideas?
