When starting up, gnome-session crash immediately.

gcc: 3.0.2
gnu ld: 2.11
freetype: 2.0.9 (freetype-version reports 9.0.3)
glib: 2.0.6
atk: 1.0.3
pango: 1.0.4
gtk+: 2.0.6

Suggestion: Modify the last loop in pango_ft2_font_map_load_fontset
(pangoft2-fontmap.c) so that it reads:

  for (i = 0; i < patterns->n_patterns; i++)
     {
	if (patterns->patterns[i] != NULL)
	   {
	      pango_fontset_simple_append (simple, pango_ft2_font_map_new_font
(fontmap, patterns->patterns[i]));
	   }
     }

Cheers!  Keep up the good work.

Comment 1 Jonas Jonsson 2002-08-07 08:53:28 UTC 
Forgot to mention that GDK_USE_XFT is explicitly set to zero (0) ...
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-08-07 12:14:41 UTC 
The suggested change might make it crash a tiny bit later
but wouldnt chage the basic problem that you don't have
_any_ fonts configured for the FT2 backend to find.

Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2002-08-07 12:15:47 UTC 
(The XftConfig file isn't just used for the Xft backend, it
is also used by the "FreeType2" backend that things like
the GNOME canvas use.)
