Hi,
There is a serious problem about "freetype" module in
XFree86-4.2.99.901.
If 18-pixels of kochi-mincho.ttf (a famous Japanese font)
is selected using xfontsel with "jisx0208.1983", the X
server crashes.
I investigated this problem a little. This crash does not
occur when displaying embedded bitmap of kochi-mincho.ttf.
When the size of the font is 18 pixels or over, X crashes.
Furthermore, according to my investigation, this crash
occurs with the following code of ftfuncs.c.
ftrc = FT_Load_Glyph(instance->face->face, idx,
FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME);
This function seems not to be used in the old freetype
module and xtt module. This problem does not occurs in the
old freetype module, and xtt module.
kochi-mincho.ttf is acquirable from the following.
http://www.a.phys.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~cyamauch/kochi-mincho.ttf.gz
And the fonts.dir is here.
kochi-mincho.ttf -kochi-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
First, please confirm this problem. Thanks.
