pango_font_family_list_faces w/FT2 dies on Dingbats
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Using the FT2 Pango context, Pango crashes in pango_font_family_list_faces when called on the Dingbats font found in gsfonts(-x11). Trace below: ** ERROR **: file pangoft2-fontmap.c: line 959 (pango_ft2_family_list_faces): assertion failed: (res == MiniXftResultMatch) aborting... (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x40415581 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt

Created attachment 13119 [details] Small program that triggers this bug (when Dingbats is installed)
What Dingbats font? Does this happen with Pango-1.1.x as well? It looks to me like a bug in the "MiniXft" library included with Pango-1.0 ... if the bug doesn't occur with Pango-1.1, it's probably not really worth investigating further.
Sorry, being Debian-centric about fonts here. The font is in the Debian gsfonts package, called d050000l.pfb. It's from URW.
Assumming that it's pango-1.0.x only.
