cache-font problems

I use Gimp on OS X (Tiger) in an X11 windowing environment. haven't used gimp in a few weeks, and today I get a dialogue box with a progress bar when I launch Gimp:

"The operation cannot be completed because the item "cache-fonts" is in use"

this thing never clears and gimp never becomes available to me.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

thank you!

hmm, I had a problem with font caching on OS X too. But this was ages ago and I don't remember the proper solution right now... Since the error said cache-fonts is in use - I'd try to start GIMP after a restart - sorry to say so, but sometimes you just have to do it.

Another thing that comes into my mind is: try to start gimp from a different user. If it works then, I'd try to remove the .fonts.cache file in the home directory of the the user gimp doesn't start for.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

hope that helps,

thank you!
