Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp for Mac OS X won't open

2004-12-19 Thread Alexandra R.
Hi, 

 Could you please try to start gimp from a terminal window? You might
 get output that could help to debug the problem.

open gimp.app got no output, which I understand is good news, and
after about two minutes, the program actually opened. However, the
font problem is back, even though GBwhateveritwasBitmap font has
supposedly been deleted from my computer.

I did use search engines for freetype and fontconfig and, as I'm
no programmer, couldn't understand how to update them, or even how to
find out where/if they were on my computer. My programming ability is
limited to cd and ls in Terminal, if that gives you any idea of
what skill level you're dealing with.

Thanks for your time,

Alexandra

All you can do then is to contact the author of the GIMP binary
package that you are using and ask him/her to update the versions of
freetype and fontconfig that are shipped with it.
