Gimp for Windows: font related crash fixed

[zero0w]

Good news!

 

GIMP-2.0.2 Win32 package is now bundled with GTK-2.4.1 + Pango 1.4.

 

Many users who encountered font handling or crashing issue should be able to use Gimp 2.0.2 on Windows now.

 

Grab it at the usual place:

Hopefully they sped it up......in windows on this box, i have a lot of fonts and it takes about 10 minutes at the startup when it loads fonts. slow.

Gimp took 15 seconds on my Windows system to scan the system font, but only for the first time I started it. Afterwards, it loaded like a breeze, very fast.

Experimental CYMK support thru the GIMP plug-in "separate":

(plus Adobe ICC profiles)

Ok, I have tried the "separate" plugin, it works OK.

 

The "sRGB Color Space Profile" is only available from the Gimp 1.2 version, so I have to download both 1.2 and 2.0 versions of that plugin to have it work all together.

 

The steps to perform CYMK separation is like this:

Image Window: Image > Separate > Separate (to Colour)

 

I can tell the difference in color output on the monitor.

For the Windows version of GTK-2.4, do not install the Wimp theme or it will mess up your internationalization interface (square box instead of the font in your system language).

 

Update: Here's my note on installing Gimp-2.0 for Windows:
