Bug Description
UPDATE: After further investigation it turned out to be a problem related to the copy operation, in combination with a totally unrelated running Java program (FreeRapid).
Reading some followups and other bug reports, it seems to be caused by the new clipboard management system (introduced as a fix for the bug #170185), as reported in bug #421597.
The routine ClipboardManage
So far these applications are known to randomly trigger an input/output extension (on linux):
- FreeRapid Downloader
- jDownloader
- xfce4-clipman-
- Netbeans
- xfce4-settings-
- Team Viewer (teamviewerd 10.0.36)
Workaround - disable offending output/export plugins (comment #87)
-----
The original report was this:
I'm getting this error when I try to edit a text object created previously with a font that's not available in this system.
It looks like Inkscape has problems to resolve the font substitution and displays the error message in a popup window that keeps appearing again and again, leaving no other remedy than closing inkscape and reopening it.
The error message is attached.

There seems something broken with the extension system in your Inkscape installation ;-) didn't you have those 'gimp_xcf.py' python errors randomly displayed before? 'Uniconverter' is only called by input and output extensions - AFAIK not related to the text tool in any way. Something must be again triggering randomly export/output extensions.
One key in the error message if any: it's an upstream issue in uniconverter: doc/python- uniconvertor/ README. Debian for more info"
"Fontsystem not yet implemented in UniConvertor. See /usr/share/
Which version do you have installed? The UniConvertor Roadmap <http:// sk1project. org/modules. php?name= Products& product= uniconvertor& op=roadmap> mentions for upcoming version 1.1.5 :
* text support for CDR importer (Corel Draw v7-12,X3,X4)
This might suggest that some kind of CDR conversion/import is triggered?
Do you have any custom extensions installed in '~/.config/ inkscape/ extensions' that hook into the text tool or old ones in '/usr/share/ inkscape/ extensions' (this doesn't get cleaned by 'make install' if extension files have been removed from the trunk)?
Could you attach the file that triggers the python error?
