this is getting really freaking annoying.

Everytime I turn the developmental gimp from the packages from either
linuxpackages.net or the slack ftp's extra/ dir it always has problems
loading unicode fonts I have installed. With an earlier version all I
had to do was delete one of the fonts from my .fonts dir, fc-cache real
fast, and it worked fine but with the latest it seemingly can't load
ANYTHING. It's pathetic.

here's an exampl output:
---
spydir@spydir:~/.fonts$ gimp-1.3

I saw that but what does that have to do with unicode? Am I just
missing some unsaid rule about fonts on slackware I've never been made
aware of before?

I figured since i do no work what so ever with animated PNG's I didn't
need to worry about the MNG libs...

Have you tried locating and installing libmng.so.1 ? Perhaps that would
solve the other errors too?

Is this font readable? Does it exist?
