Hi all... Some parts of gnome refuse to work and hang in my box. I have tracked this to be a problem related with fonts.
For example, start gedit. I get a ton of messages like: (gedit:15131): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Can't create GPFontEntry for Lucida-Bold Italic because the extension could not be recognized (f.gz) I removed the ms fonts from mi ~/.fonts. Rebuild fc-cache, and then gedit starts. But as soon as I try to open the Preferences dialog, again: (gedit:16030): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Can't create GPFontEntry for Lucida-Bold Italic because the extension could not be recognized (f.gz) (gedit:16030): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Can't create GPFontEntry for URW Antiqua T- Regular Condensed because the extension could not be recognized (.gsf) (gedit:16030): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Can't create GPFontEntry for URW Grotesk T- Bold because the extension could not be recognized (.gsf) (gedit:16030): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Can't create GPFontEntry for mdk_teams-Normal because the extension could not be recognized (.otf) And then hangs. gdb says that the hang is at: (gedit:16767): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Can't create GPFontEntry for mdk_teams-Normal because the extension could not be recognized (.otf) (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

() Cannot access memory at address 0x4 Nautilus behaves the same, hangs also on a call to FcConfigCompareValue. Any idea ? How can I find if my fonts are rotten ? Why is not fontconfig bomb-proof ;) ? ??? -- J.A.
