Description Havoc Pennington 2001-03-04 18:11:38 UTC 
From Sven: "The code to calculate the approximate_char_width in pangox.c
will crash in line 606 if get_font_metrics_from_subfonts()
is ever called with an empty list of subfonts and from a quick
look at the code I got the impression that this might happen"

Looks like to me that this can only happen if things are horribly
misconfigured - say, your $(sysconfdir)/pango/pango.modules
is missing and Pango can't find _any_ shapers.

Seems to have been fixed as of:

Tue May  1 23:30:53 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

	* pango/pangox.c (get_font_metrics_from_string): Fix assorted
	brokenness.
