I'm trying to run GIMP 2.10 on Windows 10, but it keeps crashing on startup.
The strange thing is, that its startup window doesn't display the messages that it is trying to show me as text, but as unknown character boxes:

I tried just about everything that I could imagine (and that I found documented online), but nothing helped.
Then, I noticed something weird about the LibreOffice startup window: It displays its messages in a particularly unattractive fixed-width font:

I had installed LibreOffice right after GIMP, so I thought that, perhaps, LibreOffice and GIMP don't like one another under Windows, and I decided to uninstall LibreOffice.
Lo and behold! That makes GIMP work!
