I'm also having trouble with gimp-perl and text; I am trying to render text through freetype or gdyntext and they keep segfaulting. I have tracked the segfault down to this line in gimp-freetype: (line 187) strncpy (vals.font_file, param[4].data.d_string, BUF_SIZE); This is a safe operation because vals.font_file is allocated as a char[BUF_SIZE]. Also, if I replace this line with something that prints out param[4].data.d_string, it segfaults there. Obviously there is something wrong with the params being passed in, but I can't figure out where. It seems fine under script-fu, and the code for gimp-freetype looks pretty clean, so I suspect a problem in the PDB/Gimp-Perl interface. Anyways I've attached a short script which demonstrates the failure so if anyone has any insight into it I'd like to hear it.

Trouble with gimp_text_get_extents_fontname and gimp_text_fontname
[using gimp-1.0.4-3 ] Dear Gimp-developer, I have a Gimp-perl script for generating rollie buttons that used to work but now fails, presumably because of the following message I receive on starting Gimp: 1: wire_read: unexpected EOF (plug-in crashed?) 2: overwriting Gimp::Lib::gimp_text_get_extents_fontname (1,1) 3: overwriting Gimp::Lib::gimp_text_fontname (1,1) 4: overwriting Gimp::Lib::gimp_text_get_extents_fontname (1,1) 5: overwriting Gimp::Lib::gimp_text_fontname (1,1) wire_read: unexpected EOF (plug-in crashed?) (my linenumbers) Line 1: no idea what it is but I don't think it is relevant. Lines 2-5: gimp_text_get_extents_fontname and gimp_text_get_extents_fontname are the routines where my plugin _now_ crashes. "Now" means I have successfully used the script a few weeks back and have not changed it since. This begs the question "what has changed". In any case it seems these scripts are being corrupted on startup. Thankfull for any advice, Darren Kelly

Darren, Could you send me the script? Thanks, Seth Burgess [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Darren R. C.
