There was a gimp-fontset.patch included: --- app/text_tool.c.orig Sat Jan 27 16:29:16 2001 +++ app/text_tool.c Sat Jan 27 16:31:50 2001 @@ -607,7 +607,7 @@ gdk_error_warnings = 0; gdk_error_code = 0; #ifndef GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32 - font = gdk_font_load (fontname); + font = gdk_fontset_load (fontname); if (!font) { g_message (_("Font '%s' not found."), fontname); @@ -838,7 +838,7 @@ gdk_error_warnings = 0; gdk_error_code = 0; #ifndef GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32 - font = gdk_font_load (fontname); + font = gdk_fontset_load (fontname); if (!font) return FALSE; The problem was: It did not work. If I entered umlauts into the (dynamic) text tool, the text got truncated there (although they showed up fine in the preview). (I used the "C" locale, not de_DE or something). I talked a bit with Daniel Egger but we didn't come to a clear solution. If I find the time, I'll check out CVS today and give check whether the problem persists. I tracked down the problem to gdk_measure_text which called XmbTextExtens which in turn returned the wrong width (truncated at first umlaut). I'm just telling that story to point out that fontset support might be a hairy issue and hard to get right.
