Gimp keeps crashing when I try to use the fonts from text tool.
(gimp:3877): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'rsfs10 Italic 16'
(gimp:3877): Pango-WARNING **: font_face status is: <unknown error status>
(gimp:3877): Pango-WARNING **: scaled_font status is: out of memory
(script-fu:3883): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
gimp-2.8.4 was crashing in a very similar way for me, specifically when I attempted to use the text tool. I resolved my issue by changing the permissions on all of my font files, using something similar to the following.
sudo find /usr/share/fonts -type f -name "*.[o,t]tf" -exec chmod 775 '{}' \;
Note: Be sure to run the command for all directories listed in Edit->Preferences->Folders->Fonts.
Hope it helps!
Problem is with your ~/.fonts directory. Check rsfs10 font is installed or not. If installed check whether it is properly installed. Its better to delete the font and reinstall.
To install rsfs10 font, Open terminal and type the command
sudo apt-get install ttf-lyx
