core dump from Xnest
This is a core dump from a crash Xnest session. It is probably helpful in the hands of a more skilled debugger than me.
Reopen. can i get the output of fc-list? does this only happen in Xnest? It happens in regular X as well, just its easier for me to debug in an Xnest window. I can backtrace it in regular X as well if you would like. Created attachment 121624 [details]
fc-list output
nope that's fine, just making sure it's not an Xnest bug. can you send or link me to Persnickety:style=HPLHS? http://verdenet.gotdns.org/~frankj/PERSH___.TTF ^ this should be the font, unfortunately I can't make sure because my font viewer is a KDE app :/ hrm, that font appears fine. I still think this is a case of a corrupt or invalid font file causing the segfault. can you try removing everything but the basic stuff installed by xorg and seeing if you still have problems? media-fonts/corefonts-1-r2 media-fonts/dejavu-2.17 media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.0 media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.0 media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-type1-1.0.0 media-fonts/font-cursor-misc-1.0.0 media-fonts/font-misc-misc-1.0.0 media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3 is what i have. Well, I uninstalled the font-set that Persnickity came with and the problem went away. Its not a gentoo font set so I will close the bug. The font set is Vintage Fonts from HPLHS (HP Lovecraft Historical Society). I dunno if it was all of them or one of them. Well, I rebooted after 'fixing' the problem and it happened again, and I fixed the problem by unmerging media-fonts/font-bh-ttf-1.0.0 and the problem went away. I don't know if this is a kde bug or if those are bad fonts, but since these are part of Gentoo, I'll reopen the bug. ok i'll look into this a bit further when i get some time. i've added freetype-2.3.5 which has several crash fixes. can you give it a shot? no response, no new reports. i think this bug was caused by incorrect permissions on font files and fixed by code added to fonts.eclass. please reopen if you still have this problem. |
