Hallo,

I compiled gimp-1.3.16 with gtk-2.2.1. No errors, but a message asking for gtk > 2.2.1. came up. So I desinstalled 2.2.1 and compiled gtk-2.2.4.

If you are not using a tablet, this warning is nothing except a pain. Until you can figure out what is wrong with the fonts, you could safely go back to the working gtk-2.

Gtk as well as gimp dont show _any_ fonts ! The graphic frontend is on the other hand OK. Only that no text at all shows up ! Gtk 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, which I also tryed to compile, gave the same negative results

I am using XF86-4.3, and freetype fonts. All KDE applications are working smootly, no fonts errors at all. They use true types. The Xfs server is on. Pango was compiled with ft2 support. No error messages. My system is Linux From Scratch 4.1, the kernel is 2.4.20

congratulations :) Linux From Scratch is really cool.

I went already through Google and other archives withouth results. Can someone please give me a hint ? Perhaps someone has experienced similar problems ? TIA

Sorry, but this is not correct. There are a couple of bugs in earlier GTK+ versions that affect all GIMP users, not only users of tablets. We stronly recommened to use GTK+ version 2.2.4 and at some point we will most probably also depend on GTK+ >= 2.2.2.
