Comment #91 on issue 12530 by yusu...@chromium.org: Segfault when ResourceBundle::GetFont fails -- more font fallback needed? http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12530
agl: I finally succeeded to reproduce it (hopefully). In short, I guess <edit mode="prepend" binding="same"> or <edit mode="prepend" binding="weak"> in their fontconfig configurations might trigger this bug. For example, if a user has a ~/.fonts.conf file (or ~/.fonts.conf.d/foo.conf or /etc/fonts/conf.d/bar.conf file?) which looks like: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="pattern"> <edit mode="prepend" binding="same" name="family"> <!-- or binding="weak" --> <string>DejaVu Sans</string> <!-- always prefer DejaVu Sans --> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> and the user sets the Application Font to "Bitstream Vera Sans" (or any fonts other than "DejaVu Sans") using /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties command, chromium fails to start with the error: [8513:8513:2971107470385:FATAL:/usr/local/google/home/yusukes/chromium_rw2/src/app/gfx/font_skia.cc(90)] Check failed: tf. Could not find font: Bitstream Vera Sans Trace/breakpoint trap This is because |post_config_family| in FontConfigDirect::Match becomes "DejaVu Sans" while |post_match_family| remains "Bitstream Vera Sans" for unclear reasons.
