Jehan 23d20463f5 Issue #14139: wait for fonts to be loaded before loading files.
This was happening when trying to load a file before fonts were fully
loaded, which may happen when loading while starting GIMP (either from
CLI, or from a file browser, etc.), or simply just after start for
people with a lot of fonts, whose font loading may take a long time as
background task.

Note that I didn't manage to reproduce properly because from reports, it
seems like the problem appears where some fonts may be only partly
loaded so gimp_font_get_hash() fails to load the font and get a hash. I
never managed to trigger such a case and no reporters answered my call
for testing of debug builds.
As a consequence, I'll just assume that simply waiting for all fonts to
be loaded before starting to load images would work out.

Note that the crash was not happening when text layers were using the
older syntax (pre-XCF 19) of text layer data, since it was not storing
any font hash, which means that we were not trying to compare hashes. It
would also not crash if fonts were not fully loaded yet, but we didn't
have any weird intermediate state where fonts appeared in the list yet
their file were not hashable (cf. what I failed to reproduce, as
explained in previous paragraph). But both these cases were not ideal
either anyway because then we could load the XCF apparently OK… except
that the correct fonts would not be associated to the related text
layers (hence as soon as you start to edit said texts, the rendering
would break). So we should wait for fonts to be loaded, and that was a
bug even when you can't reproduce the crash.

When starting GIMP without loading an image, or simply when fonts are
loaded quickly enough, it won't make any difference. So it should not
make startup any slower for most common use cases and installations.

                   ------------------------------
                   GNU Image Manipulation Program
                         3.0 Stable Branch
                   ------------------------------

This is a stable release in the GIMP 3.0 series.

If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet. If neither
of these, please report it!

If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.

We also have a website dedicated to documentation at:

        https://docs.gimp.org/


2. Contributing
===============

GIMP source code can be found at:

	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/

Resources for contributors:

        https://developer.gimp.org/

In particular, you may want to look in the "Core Development" section. Some
articles of particular interest for newcomers could be:

* Setting up your developer environment: https://developer.gimp.org/core/setup/
* GIMP Coding Style: https://developer.gimp.org/core/coding_style/
* Submit your first patch: https://developer.gimp.org/core/submit-patch/


3. Discussion Channels
======================

We have several discussion channels dedicated to GIMP user and
development discussion. There is more info at:

        https://www.gimp.org/discuss.html

For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #gimp or #gimp-user)
devoted to GIMP on GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network).
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are:

	irc.gimp.org:6667
	irc.us.gimp.org:6667
	irc.eu.gimp.org:6667

More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above
"discuss" page when they are moderated by a team member.
Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
also included in that page.

4. Customizing
==============

The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/3.0/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.

You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/3.0/shortcutsrc`.
