Hello Dominique,

With reference to your great message on below,

DD> Hello

DD> When I launch gimp (for the first time), the 'GIMP Installation'
DD> window shows only lines and lines of squares instead of text.

Please give some information about your locale set.. :-)
and it would be best if you could

[problematic program] 2>&1 | tee error_msg

and attach it :-)

DD> I have the same problem with gnumeric cells but only for a
DD> magnification above 75%. And if I type 6 letters in a gnumeric cell,
DD> only 3 square blocks are shown. (could it be an attempt to display 16
DD> bits characters ?)

Then i wonder that it's a function-not-a-problem... :-)
it may be an attempt to hide small character (correct me if i'm wrong)
to give u a general look on your spreadsheet.

DD> The number are displayed correctly in gnumeric if I choose a
DD> magnification below 100%.

[Question] what about 100% > magn > 75%? huh? :P

DD> I'm running unstable debian on a 1600x1200 display.

DD> Here's the configuration of my xserver:
DD> Font Path:
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
DD>   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/

These are not a problem...

DD> Has anyone a clue on how to fix this problem ?

DD> Thanks
