I haven't upgraded yet to 2.6.6 yet, still on 2.6.2 not that it should matter. My GIMP is running under windows and neither should that. I would have thought even if you hadn't downloaded any fonts yet, the standard windows fonts are available by default. How about you do another simple test, create a new LO, bottom layer your paper background, with just a text layer above the paper background layer. Lets try and keep it simple to see if this still crashes your GIMP (but hopefully NOT!)
