Gimp problem

*ketaro* · Dec 28, 2006, 08:16 PM

I know that some of you guys use Gimp, so i thought that you guys may help me on this problem that i have with Gimp. My problem is that everytime i am going to use the text box Gimp freezes up and closes by itself. I have been searching the net to find a solution, but so far i have found nothing. Has anyone of you have had this problem before? If so ,how did you fix it? By the way i am using Gimp 2.2. Thanks for your help in advance.

I haven't had this problem before with text, but it did do that to me once or twice randomly though.

Maybe try just unintalling it and re installing it again?

Read this:Text Issues

It basically says that the earlier text layout library in Gimp can't handle poorly coded & mapped fonts. These are usually poorly coded home-made fonts, foreign language fonts, or uber-artsy fonts that were never meant for direct text input. Gimp can't recognize them as fonts, or won’t make the correlation between your font to the Unicode.

Make sure you are not running alot of different programs. This could slow your cputer down. This also can cause lagging and freeze up issues
