Just wanted to mention that I (original reporter) cannot reproduce this bug right now because the original system was reinstalled. Dasher on my other systems is crashing before even getting to this point. So someone else should attach fonts that are causing their crashes.
However, I don't think the answer lies inside any font file. I think it has to do with unreadable font files. There are other reports (#139875, #152609) of pango, crashes, and unreadable font files. I can verify that Firefox will go haywire when there are unreadable ttf files in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts. It recovers when the permissions are fixed (or Pango is disabled with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1). Apparently, the msttcorefonts package has at one time or another installed its files mode 440. Thus they are readable only by root. This bug MAY be caused by that. Try the following: sudo chmod 0440 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/*.ttf Then run Firefox or Dasher and try changing your fonts. -- dasher segfaults when changing alphabet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118533 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
