Environment/Versions

Description of the bug

Gimp loads but any text is shown as small boxes. Running program via shell gives following error messages:

$ flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP

Pango-WARNING **: 11:40.55.943: failed to create cairo scale font, expected ugly output, the offending font is 'Cantarell 11' Pango-WARNING **: 11:40.55.943: font_face status is: file not found Pango-WARNING **: 11:40.55.943: scaled_font status is: file not found

Pango-WARNING **: 11:40.55.943: failed to create cairo scale font, expected ugly output, the offending font is 'Cantarell 7.6376953125'

Pango-WARNING **: 11:40.55.943: failed to create cairo scale font, expected ugly output, the offending font is 'Cantarell 9.166015625'

Reproduction

Is the bug reproducible? Always

Reproduction steps:

  1. Install Gimp via Software in Activities (uses flatpak). NB: I checked that the Canterell font is already installed when searched for it.
  2. Open Gimp and program loads but text is shown as small boxes
  3. Open a shell and run 'flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP' to see error messages. …

Expected result: GIMP loads which proper text.

Actual result: GIMP loads with text shown as boxes.
