I can't say I'm a newby in computers, but sometimes they keep me wondering if these machines are really so logic as we think.
Well, anyway, I read something about disabling fonts in the gimp via the --no-fonts command line option, and decided to give it a try, if maybe that caused my troubles with gimp. So I re-installed the gimp for the fifth (or so) time on this machine. Where all previous times I installed this same version (2.6.3) resulted in a big crash within 5 seconds or so, now gimp runs fine on this machine, even before I got the chance to try out this --no-fonts option. Even thinking about this command line option without even applying it apparantly made my computer change its mind!! Computers are bizarre machines! _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
