Here a bug reported to the old email addresses...


It's really time that the old address@hidden mailing addresses work
again, at least for the non-mailing list ones.

Keith, any chance that this is finally fixed?

The FT2 README suggests reporting "bugs by e-mail
to address@hidden'", but your mail server does
not acknowledge such an arrangement:

  address@hidden
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<address@hidden>:
    host mail4.zoneedit.com [66.223.51.63]: 550 <address@hidden>:
    User unknown in virtual alias table

The original bug report follows.

Subject: Freetype 2.1.10 bug report
Message-ID: <address@hidden>


Hello,

I've found what appears to be a bug in Freetype 2, version 2.1.10.
More specifically it appears to depend on the configuration macro
FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY, which is disabled by default.

The problem could be reliably triggered on my system (Linux 2.6 +
Xorg 6.8.2 + KDE 3.5) by attempting to start Xpdf, causing the X
server to terminate abruptly, only printing the following to the
console:

       *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
       *** be the reason for the server aborting.

    Fatal server error:
    Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

I used strace (a program to trace system call usage) which revealed
the following:

    ...
    31382 open("/root/fonts/N_Helvetica_Narrow.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 23
    31382 fstat64(23, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=112787, ...}) = 0
    31382 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
    31382 unlink("/tmp/.X0-lock")           = 0
    ...

After rebuilding Freetype with FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY disabled and
reinstalling the libraries, the X server resumes normal operation,
but reports the followinig to the console:

    FreeType: couldn't open face /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/cour.pfa: 1
    Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-times-bold-i-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
    Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
    Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab
