Description jkoerner 2008-07-29 19:09:09 UTC

I used linux-libertine as my default font everywhere and after the last upgrade a lot of my gtk apps crashed.
Finally I found out that media-fonts/libertine-ttf-2.8.14 crashes e.g. xchat, gimp, gnumeric, abiword, pgadmin3 and others without tracable segfault. Even strace reported a plain segfault and nothing else.
xchat: crash on editing usernames(nicks)
gimp: crashes after splash image
gnumeric: will not even start
abiword: crash when main menu - German: Bearbeiten - (next to 'File') is clicked and refuses to open any file with the file dialog
pgadmin3: does not start when being started as user, works as root
taxbird: crashes somewhere when sending documents(very nasty…) Found something on tty7, (taxbird:2943): CRITICAL **: global error handler called, damn 
No backtrace available. 
ERROR: Unbound variable: <?xml

Exeption - gtkam works w/o any errors
All my qt apps work, just my homepage shows doubled fonts at the end of each line when displayed in qt-demobrowser. I defined linux libertine as font there and on my homepage(changed the font now there).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install media-fonts/libertine-2.8.14
2.start any of the apps described above
3.deinstall libertine and the errors disappear

Actual Results:  
After unmerging libertine-ttf all the errors were gone.

This is due to having <x11-libs/pango-1.20.4 installed. You can solve it by ... whatever magic you paludis users do to pull an ~arch package. I've updated the ebuild to reflect this incompatibility and prodded the Gnome herd to get x11-libs/pango-1.20.5 stabilized.

'we' paludis users put it like 'you' whatever users in the keywords file. And thanks for fixing it!
