How many
How many fonts?
Uninstall/reinstall in Gimp is usually not effective. What is really important is to force Gimp to recreate a new (and hopefully correct) Gimp profile. So rename your profile (C:\Documents and Settings\{yourid}\.gimp-2.8 on XP, C:\USers\{yourid}\.gimp-2.8 on Vista/Seven) and restart Gimp. If it work you can then move back stuff from your previous profile (fonts/brushes/patterns/scripts etc...).
I have the same problem with the person above
i have tried your solution but it's still not working :'( when i go to the profile, everything is empty anyways, so if i delete it or rename it, gimp makes a new one, i try starting up gimp, nothings changed, it still stops at the same point saying fonts, looking for datafiles, i don't even have a lot of fonts! and there is a lot of space on my computer so it won't be that, and i have windows7 with a new version of gimp, i think it's 2.8
Is this happening in Gimp-2.6?
Or the newer 2.7 beta versions?
Perhaps you are talking about RC1?
You haven't really stated which version you are using.
A little more information about your system and version of Gimp would be helpful.
