GTKXFT breaks Corel Wordperfect 8
Brought to you by:

Hello,
I am running Caldera Openlinux 3.1 which uses XFree86
4.02. I installed gtkxft and had no problems except
with Corel Wordperfect 8 for linux. With LD_PRELOAD
set, xwp will segfault upon startup. With LD_PRELOAD
cleared, there are no problems.
I'm sorry, but I really can't test this with a newer
version of XFree86 right now. It's not difficult to
work around this issue. I just open a new terminal
window and
type:
export LD_PRELOAD=""
after which I can start wordperfect by typing "xwp".
I just thought it might be useful for some people to
know this.
