[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#583546: fontforge: Fontforge does not start (segmentation fault) because of defoma
Package: fontforge
Version: 0.0.20090923-2
Severity: normal
Recently I had a trouble with fontforge (not starting, segmentation fault, as in #524310)
The Xorg.0.log said things like "FreeType: couldn't open face /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/DejaVuSerif-Roman.ttf: 1" for each try
(and another font before that:
FreeType: couldn't open face /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/KacstQuraFixed.ttf: 1
multiple times, 18 times by my count).
it is probably due to /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType being in the FontPath
After moving /var/lib/defoma away, the problem disappeared
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/KacstQuraFixed.ttf and /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/DejaVuSerif-Roman.ttf were broken
symlinks. There are many others.
