Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS, upgraded from Dapper Pango problem every now and then also halts at system boot just before the graphic screen appears. Only restart helps. This has happened 3 or 4 times at irregular intervals. Message on the screen could not be found in logs, so unfortunately this info is not extensive:
message: unknown>:279 Pango-WARNING **: scaled font status is: out-of-memory unknown>:279 Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output I also saw that the Deja Vu Sans font was mentioned as the offending font, that is why I thought that this thread was the most appropriate. Reboot and normal login gave the same problem. The only (!) workaround I could find was: reboot (ctrl-alt-del) start in system recovery mode. Choose normal start. Login. Type startx Next reboot all works fine, that is why I could not exactly repeat the message. This is not the first problem I have with pango in combination with Windows fonts. I also had squares instead of text at startup, which only disappeared after long waiting (see http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu- b...@lists.ubuntu.com/msg2656512.html). I think that pango needs some serious attention. Both problems could put people off who are new to ubuntu. Indeed it is really annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to pango1.0 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631088 Title: Incompatibilty with Windows font Deja Vu Sans 9.9990234375 makes evince menu unreadable -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
