Hi, It seems that I've hit a problem with the X Font Server and Kword.
I have a large number of TrueType fonts installed on my system (just over 1000). Under KWord the font selection drop down box gives a preview of every font. Whenver I scroll quickly up and down the list, xfs crashes! (And subsequently, KWord, too). I'm running X 4.1.0-4 and xfs 4.1.0-4. I'm surprised that I'm hitting this problem, since if I reduce the number of fonts available then the problem disappears - but surely a specialised font server should be able to handle 1000 fonts? Also, does the XFt anti-aliasing extension support caching yet? If I switch anti-aliasing on under KDE, the font listings goes a bit screwy (everything after fonts starting with 'c' preview, incorrectly, with the same font) and applications take an unacceptable time to load. The last time I read about the AA extension, apparently it would re-parse all the fonts every time an application requested them (i.e. every time you start up a typical application). It's such a shame, since with AA everything looks _so_ nice... My machine is a 1Ghz Athlon with 1GB of RAM.
