[Gimp-user] Windows 2.6.2 installer problem(s) - ATTN: Jernej(?)
I saw a request in Bugzilla that someone show output for gimp --verbose command and being naturally curious ran it myself. (see output below) (1) One thing caught my attention in it: = (gimp-2.6.exe:4928): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'gtk-file'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases (gimp-2.6.exe:4928): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_info_load_icon: assertion `icon_info != NULL' failed (gimp-2.6.exe:4928): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_info_load_icon: assertion `icon_info != NULL' failed (gimp-2.6.exe:4928): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_info_load_icon: assertion `icon_info != NULL' failed = checking the site referenced above I see a bunch of tar.gz files, most recent being: -- hicolor-icon-theme-0.10.tar.gz22-Nov-2006 04:02 33K Question: does this indicate something that should have been done in the build for the windows installer? (2) Gimp internal help browser - BUMP I asked on the dev list and never got an answer - probably because I posted in the Announce-thread for 2.6.2 = I'm still seeing the same Help-Internal browser problem: The GIMP help browser plug-in appears to be missing from your installation. You may instead use the web browser for reading the help pages. I thought that this was something required some tweak to the Windows build and was going to be fixed for 2.6.2. Did I misunderstand? === FWIW: Now, even when I set preferences to use online help and use web browser its not opening in browser. (default browser Firefox-portable, WinXP SP3) Any suggestions? (3) I have another question about overriding Folders-Plugins (GAP related) I'll post in a new thread. === output from gimp-2.6.exe --verbose INIT: gimp_load_config Parsing 'C:\Documents and Settings\Alec\.gimp-2.6\unitrc' Parsing 'D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\etc\gimp\2.0\gimprc' Parsing 'C:\Documents and Settings\Alec\.gimp-2.6\gimprc' gimp_composite: use=yes, verbose=no Processor instruction sets: +mmx +sse +sse2 -3dnow -altivec -vis Adding theme 'Default' (D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\share\gimp\2.0\themes\Default) Adding theme 'Small' (D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\share\gimp\2.0\themes\Small) Writing 'C:\Documents and Settings\Alec\.gimp-2.6\themerc' Trying splash 'C:\Documents and Settings\Alec\.gimp-2.6\gimp-splash.png' ... failed Trying splash 'D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\share\gimp\2.0\images\gimp-splash.png' ...

Hello. i am under the impression that any font in window$ must be detected by GIMP text tool. unfortunately, it is not happening so. is there any specific method to add the fonts to gimp? if so how? i m still using GIMP 2.4 , yet to upgrade :D thanks, Akshay Is a wrong impression Gimp may use most (maybe all) of fonts included in windows as default, less of the Extra Fonts that you may found on the net .. To install new fonts in Gimp you may simply install them as font in windows If some fonts do not show up you may try to copy them , paste in a new folder,and from Gimp ,exactly from Edit/preferences/font add a path to that new font folder and then reload gimp That often help, if doesn't usually fonts are incompatible (the fact that some other programs may use them here is not relevant except if you want use that fonts with that other program ) Unisciti alla community di Io fotografo e video, il nuovo corso di fotografia di Gazzetta dello sport: http://www.flickr.com/groups/iofotografoevideo ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
