Description of problem:
Drakfont crashes if I run "drakfont --windows_import".
I can import fonts from Windows using the graphical interface without any problem.
It happens with a normal user and the root.

Here is the provided backtrace:
The "drakfont" program has crashed with the following error:

  Can't call method "get_fraction" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/drakfont line 785.

It also happens in Mageia 2.

Comment 2 Perilio Castrol 2013-05-01 19:24:56 CEST

I've been doing some research:

I made it run well by commenting line 217 of drakfont:

#       progress($pbar, 0.25 / $nb_dir, N("parse all fonts"));

This way the program imports correctly all the Windows fonts. Instead of showing a progress bar it shows a huge amount of messages related to what it is doing.

The arguments used to call the progress function are different if I run it with the GUI of if I do it from console with --windows_import:

--With the GUI: $pbar = Gtk2::ProgressBar=HASH(0x3374a28)
                $nb_dir = 690

--With the option --windows_import: $pbar = undef
                                    $nb_dir = 690


It seems that the progress bar is not defined properly when I run it from console. It might have an easy solution now, but I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks
