I created the file that causes problems by using the site http://pentacom.jp/soft/ex/font/edit_canvas.html and pressing the sample button and saving the result. I have attached the file to this message.
On my second computer i just tried putting the file in my ~/.fonts dir (witch didn't exist yet). When I then logged out (just pressing the icon caused a logout instead of the questionscreen whether i wanted to logout, shutdown, etc) and tried to login again with that user just the background screen appeared and nothing more. After removing the file I could login as normal. On my main computer I put the file (by using sudo) in the directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype. After pressing the exit button the computer tried to start a screen several times and then came with "The display server has been shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds. Etc.." A complete restart does everything it should until the login screen should appear. Then the previous message about the display server appears. After removing the file the computer starts normal again. Hope this helps. ** Attachment added: "an offending file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18020962/testfont3.ttf -- Ubuntu crashes when i install a self-made font https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
