Package: libgtk1.2
Version: 1.2.10-16
For example, run gtkfontsel and click on the "andale mono" item in the
"Font:" list control. The application will exit immediately and report
the following message:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
serial 1246 error_code 2 request_code 45 minor_code 0
This happens when -any- Microsoft font is selected, including arial,
georgia, verdana et cetera.
Running other gtk1.2 applications that attempt to use Microsoft
TrueType fonts (such as VMware Workstation) will result in the same
problem.
gtk2.0 applications are not affected AFAICT.
The libgtk1.2 problem may result from an interaction with xlibs 4.3.0-2.
Regards,
Mikol

Hello,
libgtk1.2 was removed a few years ago and it's only in oldstable by
now, with no options to come back nor to be fixed (upstream abandoned
it long ago as well), so I'm re-closing this bug report.
If somebody has any concern about it and it's still causing problem
with newer versions of the involved software, please reopen it against
the current libraries/Xorg versions where this is still a problem.
Regards.
