Using new fonts crashes app_server ...

[herdemir]

I added some other fonts like Liberation Sans & co and some windows fonts using UserBuildConfig during build time. I can boot fine and use Haiku very well. But sometimes either choosing font of Terminal or loading a page on Firefox crashes the app_server. This happens frequently lately. Added stack trace and kernel stack trace of the thread. By the way I'm using Haiku natively.

Tested on hrev32446.

Can you still reproduce it? There were several updates to FreeType since you reported this bug. Thanks.

Reproducible with Tahoma fonts in hrev38824.

This bug is no longer reproducible over here.

I have a large font pakc for commercial art work, some of those fonts do trip up the server still. I will grab a few of the offenders and attach them to the ticket later.

Replying to stargatefan:

Even though it is for testing purposes, do not upload commercial software to this site.

... and don't provide download links either.

Any changes in the last 3 years here? Are there fonts still known to crash?

Even if you can't upload them for licensing reasons, at least provide the name of the offending fonts so we can keep track of the problem.

Working on FontBoy I had installed hundreds of fonts, I had never experience this. I close this ticket. Please reopen with the list of fonts if this still happen for you. Thanks.
