You could try this approach taken from the gimp faq:

# Gimp displays the message Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c line 75 > (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) and when I click OK, it crashes. What should I do?

    * Go to Start►Settings►Control Panel►Display properties►Apperance tab(►Advanced if you're on Windows XP/2003), and set all fonts to Tahoma (or any other TrueType font).

Thanks Christian for clearing that up. It looks like a bit of a bugger. I've gone back to version 0.14 for the moment. Guess it never got fixed because not many of us old 98se users left.

Best regards

Tony

The bug is described here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnubg/2006-06/msg00000.html

but was never resolved.

Perhaps something could be done in gnubg.gtkrc.

Hi guys

Sorry to bother you all with this, but I'm stumped :) I've had gnubg running on my girlfriend's XP m/c with no problems. However, when I installed it on a couple of m/c's running 98SE, as soon as I fire them up I get this message on both machines.

ERROR
**.file../../../pango/pango/shape.c: line 75 [pango_shape]: assertion failed [glyfs->num_glyphs > 0]

After I OK that message, I get this one;

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\PROGRAM FILES\GNUBG\GNUBK.EXE
abnormal program termination

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards

Tony
