Description David Leverton 2008-02-07 22:42:34 UTC 
The ttf2tfm utility from FreeType 1 segfaults when used on the Gentium font.  To reproduce:

1) install media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r5
2) install media-fonts/ttf-gentium-1.0.1
3) run ttf2tfm /usr/share/fonts/ttf-gentium/Gentium.ttf

Hi David.  Can you test this patch for me?

That doesn't make a difference here.  I assume the patch comes from this Debian bug[1], which talks about uninitialised memory, but valgrind doesn't show any errors except for the final segfault, so I think this is a different issue.

Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-19 02:52:44 UTC 
it does.  i just happened to notice i couldn't reproduce your testcase any more when previously i could, and narrowed it down to that patch.  your patch does look correct but i thought i'd check.
Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-20 04:19:24 UTC 
should be fixed by freetype-1.4_pre20080316, now in the tree package.masked.
Comment 6 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-25 01:05:42 UTC 
Unmasked.  Thanks for the report.
