Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->gnome over to maintainers State Changed From-To: open->closed This bug is better suited for Mozilla or Freetype. If those developers come up with a release that contains the fix, then it will be integrated into FreeBSD. In the meantime, running fc-cache -f -v solves most of the font problems in all Xft-aware applications. You can also build Mozilla with -DWITHOUT_XFT to disable Xft support altogether. |
Summary: A zero size /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.cache-1 kills mozilla 1.2.1 silently, giving no display & no clue why the exit occurs. I built a FreeBSD-4.8 src/ & ports/www/mozilla along with 200+ other favourite ports ( http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.csh/make_ports_jhs ) Mozilla ran OK on build host. Then stripped my 4.7 laptop Totaly clean (hand job, net cp of 4.8 DESTDIR, then mv of all 4.7 to 4.8 etc), pkg_add of my 200 packages. OK, except Mozilla. A comparison of /usr/X11R6 on both hosts detected zero size files: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.cache-1 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.cache-1 I don't know how they occured, but /Type1/ was a silent mozilla killer ! Fix: Add an error message if the font scan fails. Perhaps in work/mozilla/other-licenses/freetype/ ChangeLog: (T1_Open_Face): Deleted empty subroutines array test to make sure ChangeLog: * src/type1/t1load.c (parse_subrs, T1_Open_Face): Ditto. src/type1/t1load.c: FT_ERROR(( "T1_Open_Face: no charstrings array in face!\n" )); src/type1/t1load.c: T1_Open_Face( T1_Face face ) src/type1/t1load.h: T1_Open_Face( T1_Face face ); src/type1/t1objs.c: error = T1_Open_Face( face ); I've cc'd a couple of mozilla/freetype developers who may know. - Julian Stacey Freelance Internet Consultant & Systems Engineer, Muenchen.

How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 mv fonts.cache-1 fonts.cache-1.MOVED touch fonts.cache-1 reboot # OK, well, whatever to re-init the fonts. cd ; mozilla
