Hi,
I long had issues seen from 10.5 to 10.7 with text display in Aqua GIMP
with gtk (and other apps too, but not e.g. Emacs).
It somehow "cured" itself on 10.7 but not 10.6/10.5
Today with a selfupdate broke
This combination works:
pango 1.48
librsvg 2.55.3
I held pango frozen to 1.48, or text would not display in GIMP, but
latest librsvg requires also newer pango!
So I tried using current pango (hid my overlay).
I ended up with
pango 1.55
librsvg 2.58.5
will test situation on 10.5/10.6 soon.
