backtrace from firefox-38.1.0[-bindist]

Steps to reproduce:

stable amd64, except for
* gcc-4.9 (necessary for virtualbox graphics)
* glibc-2.21-r1 (does not change behaviour from glibc-2.20-r2)
* firefox 38.1.0[-bindist]

profile default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop

"infinality" useflag set for media-libs/freetype-2.5.5

eselect fontconfig enable infinality

eselect infinality set (any-of infinality,linux,nyx)

Open http://www.handelsblatt.com/ with firefox-38.1.0, opera-beta-31.0.1889.92 or stable chromium, rekonq or konqueror.

Click the first article. Wait until it is loaded completely, begin scrolling down.

Behaviour: Browser crashes. Firefox simply closes, while opera or chromium show a crash handler page.

Expected behaviour: No crash.

Various tests with browser settings lead to downloadable fonts: If downloadable fonts are not allowed, the crash does not occur.

The crash does also not occur without infinality, or if "eselect infinality" is set to "debug" or an "osx*" or "win*" setting.

Comment 1 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-07-27 17:56:09 UTC
Can you check if the bug is still present in freetype-2.6?
Comment 2 Kai Damm 2015-07-28 12:19:53 UTC
Yes, I just checked - happens too with freetype-2.6.
Comment 3 Kai Damm 2015-07-29 10:23:46 UTC
Setting INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT to 0 avoids the crash. This corresponds to the "eselect lcdfilter" styles "vanilla", "osx" or "ubuntu".

Test case triggering the crash

Simple test case triggering the crash in one archive file (html, css, woff)

Steps to reproduce:

# USE=infinality emerge media-libs/freetype
# eselect infinality set infinality
$ tar xf webfonts-crash.tar.bz2
$ export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT=100
$ firefox webfonts/index.html
Segmentation fault

(crashes any browser as far as i tested)
Comment 5 Kai Damm 2015-08-05 16:33:09 UTC
I forgot one step to reproduce in the previous comment, after "emerge freetype":

# eselect fontconfig enable 52-infinality.conf
Comment 6 Kai Damm 2016-06-09 12:27:27 UTC
=media-libs/freetype-2.6.3-r1 fixes the crash, and fixes other graphical glitches with some web fonts and infinality presets.
