Per the advice received in a post about fonts I installed Gimp. I used 'pacman -S Gimp'. It seemed to go OK. I can run it. However when I try to use the File > Open dialog, it displays the usual KDE-style browser for a split-second and then exits totally.
Any ideas?

open the program from the console and post here what the program outputs.

Hi Pajaro
OK. I tried a fix that dibblethewrecker suggested in a post here (for refreshing the fonts after attempts to fix them);
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=9651
This helped and Gimp will now open a file from the File > Open dialog. However when I run it from a console as you suggest I get this (as it's starting up);
Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 39: no element found
Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 39: no element found
[root@BerettaJ ~]#
Here's my local.conf ;

Any ideas??

i think that you'll be missing a font-package. try installing all packages which name matches ttf or font. (all font packages)

..and take away my fonts dir, they are last in the file,
Edit: My fault I see, that tag was missing in the file I posted in the other thread,
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

You guys are hilarious.
I made the changes to local.conf that were suggested, opened a console and ran Gimp. It started (the previous "element" complaints are gone) ok. However, when I tried File > Open it crashed again and the console has this:
[root@BerettaJ ~]# gimp
Pango-ERROR **: file pangofc-fontmap.c: line 1288 (pango_fc_font_description_from_pattern): assertion failed: (res == FcResultMatch)
aborting...
gimp: terminated: Aborted
(script-fu:8513): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error
[root@BerettaJ ~]#
As I said, it tried to open the file slection/browser window and then vanished.
Any ideas?
Thanks

you have to set the "dpi" value so it match your own monitor,
85 is for a 15" flatscreen,

xerxes2,
I reset the monitor calibration and it still fails. I removed Gimp (using pacman) and re-installed and it still fails. If the 85 you mentioned is from the line ;
(script-fu:8513): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error
It now produces :
(script-fu:11656): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error
The 116 part bears no relation to anything I can find.

I meant 85 dpi from /etc/fonts/local.conf ,
you should put in your monitors value instead,
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy
