After much struggle with freetype problems I have inkscape appearing to work apart from nothing in the font dialog and nothing when I type text. Here is the error: mellor@...189...:~$ inkscape ** (inkscape:10799): CRITICAL **: file pango-fontmap.c: line 102 (pango_font_map_list_families): assertion `fontmap != NULL' failed ** (inkscape:10799): CRITICAL **: file pango-fontmap.c: line 83 (pango_font_map_load_font): assertion `fontmap != NULL' failed ** (inkscape:10799): CRITICAL **: file pango-fontmap.c: line 83 (pango_font_map_load_font): assertion `fontmap != NULL' failed I cannot find the file pango-fontmap.c. Sodipodi appears to use gnome-fontface.c for the fonts. I have pango installed, but I have a vague feeling this might be a gtk2 problem. I am using gtk+2-2.2.4 in Slackware 9.1. Can anyone help please? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Inkscape-user mailing list Inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-user
