Re: GTK+/Win32 MS Sans Serif font => warning

["Francois Terrot [Dev]" <dev terrot net>]

Hi
I read this on the The Gimp Windows FAQ  
(http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/faq.html)
" I installed Gimp 2.0 on Windows 9x/ME or NT 4, and I'm getting a lot 
of messages saying ** (gimp-2.0.exe:4294830849): WARNING **: Couldn't 
load font "MS Sans Serif 8" falling back to "Sans 8". What should I do?
-You have two options:
  * Go to Control Panel->Display properties->Apperance tab, and set all 
fonts to Tahoma (or any other TrueType font).
  * Uninstall GTK+ 2.2.4, then re-install it without the GTK-Wimp 
component."

Regards
Francois Terrot
