you should try to run the tests that come with the glib-2.0 tarball.
If you get problems there you should definitely report them using
bugzilla.gnome.org against the glib module.

the font configuration for Xft, the next-generation X font rendering.
The text tool uses it since PangoFT2 shares the configuration file
with the Xft backend. This means you need to configure Xft even though
your X server doesn't have support for it.

we definitely need to fix this problem. Could you please file a
bug-report for it at bugs.gimp.org?
