Is anyone playing with the new GIMP? Ive had trouble getting it to run in Windows XP.
At first I got errors that now dont show up (wish Id written it down the first time) but the program doesnt load. Ive seen Messages in the GIMP newsgroup where others have problems and fix it with various old dll deletes or some fonts. Here is part of the conversation on that...

It worked for some but I dont find ProFonts in mine so I suspect its another font. I may have to set aside time to hack that file.
