After running emerge -u world, bluefish now crashes. The splash window appears, and then it crashes. The relevant packages updated were: dev-libs/glib-2.4.8 -> dev-libs/glib-2.6.2-r1 x11-libs/pango-1.6.0 -> x11-libs/pango-1.8.0 x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.14 -> x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.2 I have tried re-emerging all of these individually, as well as bluefish itself. I also rebuilt libpcre-5.0 and atk-1.8.0, but the problem persists. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -u world 2.run bluefish Actual Results: Here is the error output from bluefish: (bluefish:27389): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (bluefish:27389): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_covers: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed (bluefish:27389): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (bluefish:27389): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting...

I changed my Gnome Application font from "ClearlyU PUA" to "Bitstream Vera Sans" and now it works! Why does ClearlyU break bluefish in this way??
where does the font come from ? What if you use pango 1.8.1 instead ?
The font seems to be included in x.org: # equery belongs cu-pua12.pcf.gz [ Searching for file(s) cu-pua12.pcf.gz in *... ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (/usr/share/fonts/misc/cu-pua12.pcf.gz) The problem still exists with pango-1.8.1. However, when I switched back to this font to test 1.8.1, I *didn't recognize it*. Despite this font being set, and it causing this bluefish crash, it apparently wasn't ever being rendered. This is a can of worms I don't really want to open, so I'm going to continue using Bitstream Vera Sans and leave it at that. Bluefish is working now, and that was the important part. However, if you consider this a bug worth investigating, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to do. Thanks either way.
*** Bug 93690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
this bug seems to be somewhat widespread, i keep seeing it in different places ( and more people reported in the gentoo forums thread ): heres some links so i don't lose them / can check them later on: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307881 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=189809#post189809 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84586 it actually looks like they have fixed the problem in the newest version of pango with a one line fix ( on the 14th of this month ): http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304039 I will look into backporting this patch tommorrow.
i just commited 1.8.1-r1 with a patch that supposedly fixes this issue. could you guys please try emerging this version and see if the problem goes away? Thanks!
i have just recompiled pango to the 1.8.1-r1 and the problem seem fixed, is about 1 hour that i'm playing with gtk scrooling windows and they don't break.
can the reporter( jnicol) confirm that the patch works for him?
-r1 is now stable.
