Comment 0 for bug 6851

Package: libgtk1.2
Version: 1.2.10-16

For example, run gtkfontsel and click on the "andale mono" item in the
"Font:" list control. The application will exit immediately and report
the following message:

     Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
       serial 1246 error_code 2 request_code 45 minor_code 0

This happens when -any- Microsoft font is selected, including arial,
georgia, verdana et cetera.

Running other gtk1.2 applications that attempt to use Microsoft
TrueType fonts (such as VMware Workstation) will result in the same
problem.

gtk2.0 applications are not affected AFAICT.

The libgtk1.2 problem may result from an interaction with xlibs 4.3.0-2.

Regards,
Mikol
