Bug 622740 – app-text/acroread-9.5.5-r3: segfaults after installing stix-fonts

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sasha Medvedev 2017-06-26 16:09:06 UTC]

Unfortunately, there is still lack of free sub-pixel rendering capable pdf viewer. Therefore some people like me have to stick with Adobe Reader.

Uninstalling stix-fonts solves the sigfault problem for me. The strace log:

open("/usr/share/fonts/stix-fonts/STIX2Math.otf", O_RDONLY) = 6
fcntl64(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=755584, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 755584, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 6, 0) = 0xf2c7a000
close(6)                                = 0
mmap2(NULL, 757760, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xf2bc1000
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=NULL} ---

exit_group(1)                           = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++

Thank you for the report, but the acrobat reader will be removed from the official gentoo tree soon. 
Perhaps someone will maintain it on an overlay:
