Guessing your computer has run out of resources.

That font Amatic Bold is described as "simple but effective hand drawn".

Looks to have about 8 times as many nodes as a regular font-to-path. see
screenshot.

at a time then merge the individual paths.

A better solution might be not-gimp. Use a vector application such as Inkscape.
