Package: fontconfig Version: 2.3.2-1 Severity: normal Upgrading fontconfig (or fonts which invoke fc-cache) hangs for me, in fc-cache -f -v. I pulled fonts out of my directories until I could narrow down the source of the problem, and it seems that one of my type1 fonts comes with both the standard .afm and .pfb files, but also with a .t1a file: # file crush47.t1a crush47.t1a: PostScript Type 1 font text (CrushNo47 \2511997 dincTYPE/diane )
If this file is left in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local-Type1, then fc-cache will hang (ie, run for 12 hours or more without making progress). If this file is removed, fc-cache completes normally in a reasonable time. I can provide this file (and the associated .afm and .pfb files) if they would be helpful. I feel that, whatever is in the fonts directories, fc-cache should never hang or crash. --scott -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages fontconfig depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.49 Debian configuration management sy ii defoma 0.11.8-0.1 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii gsfonts-x11 0.17 Make Ghostscript fonts available t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii msttcorefonts 1.2 Installer for Microsoft TrueType c ii ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-3 The Bitstream Vera family of free ii ttf-freefont 20031008-1.1 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii ucf 1.18 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: * fontconfig/rendering_type: Autohinter * fontconfig/subpixel_rendering: Automatic * fontconfig/enable_bitmaps: false fontconfig/hinting_type: Native * fontconfig/enable_autohinter: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
