I think removing any font package that is currently used would crash app_server, but you could rightly claim that's unsupported.
Having a crash during a regular update is not great though.
To reproduce:
- Run
pkgman full-syncor SoftwareUpdater. - Cross your fingers that notofonts are part of the update.
- Do the update.
- Watch the app_server crash.

My system didn't crash, but all the text went "haywire" after the update, including menu item titles. After a reboot it was OK again.

IMHO this is actually a packagefs bug, one that I have seen when updating other applications too: packagefs just "disconnects" memory-mapped files, it appears, causing random crashes and the like whenever their memory is accessed and it is no longer what it was before.

Well, that problem was already there before packagefs and would trigger if you, for example, used jam @update on your running system. So I'd say it's not only packagefs, at least, but possibly a larger issue in the vfs.
