Category: 46. Unix Fonts Group: obsolete: 8.5.7 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Anand (anandram) Assigned to: Joe English (jenglish) Summary: tk segfaulting due to Xft fonts Initial Comment: Please take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5488429/tk-segfaults-when-i-use-widget-button-text ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Joe English (jenglish) Date: 2011-12-06 11:47 Message: I've finally been able to replicate the problem. This condition obtains when there are no fonts installed on the local machine. To check: run `fc-list` at the shell prompt. If this does not produce any output, that means no fonts are installed. To fix: on CentOS machines, `yum install bitmap-fonts`, bitstream-vera-fonts, or any of the other available 'fonts-*' packages resolves the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Joe English (jenglish) Date: 2011-06-02 17:20 Message: > status? Unable to reproduce. The statement in the stackoverflow thread that Red Hat has recently disabled transient linking is apparently incorrect. (They might have changed *something* ldd-related, but transient linking most certainly still works.) Linking libtk.so against `pkg-config --libs xft` will work correctly on any nonmisconfigured system. Tk's autogoo attempts to check for various previously reported misconfigured systems and attempts to work around them, and it is entirely possible that that logic is screwing things up on working systems, but again, I am unable to reproduce the reported problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2011-06-02 10:05 Message: status? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112997&aid=3281130&group_id=12997 |
