gimp hangs on some fonts

["H. S." <greatexcalibur@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am experimenting with gimp(ver 1.2.3) in my Debian system running 
Sarge (kernel 2.4.22). I notice that when I select some of the fonts 
while in the Text tool, gimp hangs. On the command prompt, when I kill 
it, I get:
21:00:05{icons-art}> gimp&
[4] 4044
21:00:07{icons-art}> fg          <--- here where I kill it
gimp
/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/script-fu terminated: Interrupt
gimp terminated: Interrupt


This happens as soon as I click on some fonts in the text dialog I get 
when I select the Text tool and click on an image being edited to put 
some text on it. I think those fonts are the ones which are listed on 
gimp but are not in my system. Any idea how I can prevent this? I don't 
think this is an expected behavior.

regards,
->HS
