Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-16woody3
Severity: normal

The X server immediately and reliably crashes when I select either font
'Drift' or 'Tixus' (from xfonts-artwiz 1.4) in a Tcl/Tk client
(Trebuchet, a MUD client). It seems that the rendering in the preview
pane causes this.

I normally use the NVIDIA driver, so I switched to the VESA driver and
the crash still happens.

If I select 'tixus' in Galeon it doesn't crash, so perhaps this is a
missing range-check in the font system?

Closing this bug since I didn't get any reply from the submitter (or
repliers) after my ping about a month ago. If anybody ever reproduces
this problem, feel free to reopen.
