373244 2005-07-18 07:54:00 Has anyone else had a problem with a Win Gimp installation?

I downloaded & installed GTK 2.6.8 then installed Gimp 2.2.8.

It all looks fine until I want to open a new file; then I get the following error message; " Pango-Error **. file shape. c:line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num-glyphs > 0) aborting......" and then it aborts when I click OK.

Google hasn't been much help. It seems some other people have experienced this but there's no fix.

I tried re-installing, that didn't work.

Is there someone can enlighten me please.

Since my first post I have installed the downloads on my laptop, perfectly successfully. Installed by network from exactly the same place I tried to install from on my PC. So there would have to be an issue with my main computer?

I presume it is XP is it not and also you installed the GTK first. What is the processor's of the respective machines?
