Use gimp_fonts_wait(), added in the previous commit, to wait for
fonts to finish loading before operations that depend on font
availability. In particular, this includes font- and text-related
PDB functions, and text-layer rendering.
Fonts should not be blocking startup as this provides a very bad
experience when people have a lot of fonts. This was experienced even
more on Windows where loading time are often excessively long.
We were already running font loading in a thread, yet were still
blocking startup (thread was only so that the loading status GUI could
get updated as a feedback). Now we will only start loading and proceed
directly to next steps.
While fonts are not loaded, the text tool will not be usable, yet all
other activities can be performed.
As proposed on IRC. This will allow people to debug their fonts (for
instance when there are permission issues or whatnot) by knowing the
list of problematic fonts in an error dialog at startup (and not only on
terminal).
Such comment should not be included in the general PDB
documentation as it is specific to the C bindings and can
be easily added by the pdbgen infrastructure.
This reverts commit c9888f2222.

If a procedure call fails, pass a string describing the error as
the second return value. First step towars fixing bug #344818.
* app/pdb/gimpprocedure.[ch] (gimp_procedure_get_return_values):
added a GError parameter. If it is set, pass the error message
to
the return values.
* app/pdb/gimppdberror.h: added some more error codes.
* app/pdb/gimppdb.c
* app/xcf/xcf.c: pass errors to
gimp_procedure_get_return_values().
* app/plug-in/gimpplugin-message.c
(gimp_plug_in_handle_proc_run):
show a different error message for execution vs. calling errors.
* app/plug-in/gimpplugin-progress.c
(gimp_plug_in_progress_cancel_callback): pass the error
GIMP_PDB_CANCELLED to gimp_procedure_get_return_values().
* app/plug-in/gimppluginmanager-call.[ch]
(gimp_plug_in_manager_call_run): removed the
'destroy_return_vals'
parameter.
* app/plug-in/gimppluginprocedure.c: destroy the return values
here.
* app/plug-in/gimppluginprocframe.c: pass an error to
gimp_procedure_get_return_values().
* tools/pdbgen/app.pl
* tools/pdbgen/pdb/fileops.pdb: generate code that passes the
error to gimp_procedure_get_return_values().
* app/pdb/*-cmds.c: regenerated.
* plug-ins/pygimp/pygimp-pdb.c: extract the error message from
the
return values and pass it to the exception that is thrown.
