Dear Maintainer,

I am running debian testing with some packages from unstable.
My installation of gimp (after reinstallation of gimp and gimp-data from testing archives)
apparently does not find a usable interface font. In the menu bar and each menu, I can just see
the square numerical unicode font default replacements. For me and probably a lot of casual users
without strong command of the keyboard shortcuts, this renders gimp more or less unusable.

to reproduce: start gimp from the command line witout arguments and look at the menu bar (see screenshot)
I have no workaround yet, I am looking for information about the missing font.

additional information:
1) there is _no_ message in the terminal on startup about a missing font
2) in .xsession-errors I see the probably irrelevant
(K3b::Device::Device) could not open device  /dev/sr0  for reading

                    ( "No such file or directory" )
                    ( "No such file or directory" )
couldn't find ("gimp.desktop") which is supposedly extended by "gimp-data-extras"
couldn't find ("nautilus.desktop") which is supposedly extended by "nautilus-sendto"
(K3b::Device::Device) could not open device  /dev/sr0  for reading

3) I removed the configuration directory .gimp-2.8 (?) without effect
4) I am running kde as desktop

expected behavior: the package gimp or gimp-data should depend on the necessary font or use
a fallback or complain in a usable fashion.
