[Fwd: Re: [Gimp-user] Text tool problem]
Hi! As I said before, I have a serious problem with the text tool: after selecting it and start typing anything, GIMP closes its windows and exits. Last time I wasn't able to answer every questions: Sven Neumann wrote: It would probably help to start gimp from an xterm (or whatever terminal emulator you prefer) and check if there's any output on the console. The output is the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] trychydts]$ /usr/local/bin/gimp (gimp:2212): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `invalid' in cast to `GimpConfigInterface' (gimp:2212): Gimp-Config-CRITICAL **: file gimpconfig-utils.c: line 300 (gimp_config_sync): assertion `GIMP_IS_CONFIG (src)' failed (gimp:2212): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1319 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (script-fu:2213): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Segmentation fault (core dumped) I guess that your problem is a somewhat broken font that causes problems with the libraries that handle fonts for GIMP. Does this happen with whatever font you choose? I haven't tried all, beacause I have about 300 fonts installed, but it seems to be the case. What versions of freetype and fontconfig are you using?

[Gimp-user] Text tool problem
Hi! I have just started to use Gimp 2.0.5, under Mandrake Linux 10.0. I have a really serious problem with the text tool. If I do the following: 1. Start Gimp 2. Create a new image 3. Select the text tool 4. Click on the new image 5. Start typing any text Both the image window and Gimp closes without any warning after the first 1 to 3 letters. The text I type do not appear in the word processing window. Thanks for any help in andvance.

The text I type do not appear in the word processing window. Long shot here, but was the 'word processing' window the current window? Or was it possible that GIMP was picking up what you were typing and took it as some command, say exit?? -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 ATT Certified UNIX System Programmer - 1995 ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
