[Fwd: Re: 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:

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:

[trychydts@localhost trychydts]$ /usr/local/bin/gimp

(gimp:2212): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `' in cast to `GimpConfigInterface'

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?

Freetype 1.3.1, fontconfig 2.2.1
