Summary: Square characters in menu bar and tool descriptions
Initial Comment:
Installed inkscape and ran it - but the menu text and
tool tips are all just displayed as squares instead of
legible characters. I've tried doing a lot of
different things to solve this problem and can't seem
to find any help on the net.

more recent versions of GTK do not work on windows 98
however users have reported getting 0.44 (i think) to run by
copying the few newer gtk files that are needed into the
bin/ folder
the libraries needed are pango and few others as far as I
know, you would need to look up the discussion the mailing
lists for more information.
closing this report since Windows 98 isn't really supported
anymore but if you want to spend the time on it and try the
hacks others have tried best of luck, you might be able to
get it to work for you, at least for one last release.

I just ran it in win98 and there were no other problems
with libraries or anything.
I've just downloaded the earliest available version of
inkscape and it runs fine and displays everything
correctly. Maybe the problem is because the latest version
wasn't designed for my o/s. I don't know.
