As per Murphy's (or whoever) Law, after filing the bug I've found the solution/work-around.
I went into the Gimp preferences and added ~/.fonts to the fontpath. After that Gimp seemed to function normally, though I haven't tested everything. The question remains, however, as to why it wouldn't work with what I take is a default install. -- tools not working in GIMP (8.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297356 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
