Description Pavel Kreuzt 2013-06-27 15:40:33 CEST

Trying to list installed fonts in any tool like Gimp causes a segfault when this fonts are reached. It seems that the fonts are included with fluxbox: mints-strong.pcf.gz, anorexia.pcf.gz and posibly others.

(gimp:9063): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'mints-strong.pcf 21.3330078125'

(gimp:9063): Pango-WARNING **: font_face status is: out of memory

(gimp:9063): Pango-WARNING **: scaled_font status is: out of memory
/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu: fatal error: GIMP crashed

(script-fu:9081): LibGimp-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_flush(): error: Broken pipe
Segmentation fault (`core' generated)


Version-Release: fluxbox-1.3.2-5mga3


How reproducible: Open Gimp and make a new logo, click to choose font and search for any of this fonts. When reached, Gimp crashes.

Still present in Mageia 4.
