Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

Hi,

I've the following problem:

All works fine, but if I want to add text to my picture and klick on the "A"-Button this errors come:

First:

Pango-ERROR **: Unable to open font file C:/WINDOWS/font/DejaVuSans.ttf for font DejaVu Sans 16, exiting aborting...

Second:

Runtime Error!

Program: H:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin\gimp-2.4.exe

I can use the gimp portable edition fine for a short period of time but after about 30 minutes of working in it, it seems to freeze up (all gimp windows and documents). It doesn't give me the opportunity to save at this point and I end up loosing 30 minutes of work. It's happened 3 times in the past 2 days. (1.5 hrs work lost).

Does anyone have any ideas how I should start troubleshooting?

Here's a screenshot:

Dear forum members:

Could it be possible to put the help file separated by language? I shudder with the idea of downloading the whole file.

Thanks

Is there an English only portable help file for GIMP? If so, what is the URL?

How do you make gimp into photoshop... or
how do u combine photos with gimp

I've installed it and it should be called "multilingual GUI".

Also, where is it located both file wise and in the options?

Thanks!

I have now installed GIMP.

Just one small problem I have found and I am sure it's me. I have tried to create a banner with a photo set into one of the layers. I have not found a way to import the picture into the layer. The photo will only be small (just like a logo set into the layer. I also need to be able to set the position of the photo within the layer.

Is anyone able to help me?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to InCtrl5, do know that while GIMP Portable doesn't leave any traces in the registry like its official counterpart, it does leave these folders behind (keep in mind the portable version does not contain any uninstaller):

%APPDATA%\gtk-2.0
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\fontconfig


The latter folder goes inside the temp folder, but still.

Can you please make it so those folders are deleted on exit or at least stored within the internal data folder?

Thanks!

I wanted to delete GIMP Portable from my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet notebook DVDRAM (udf 1.5). Windows XP tablet edition SP2 crashed showing blue screen and restarted. Errorlog says:
