Bug ID: 509553
Summary: Hang with iosevka nerd font (reporting only for
reference)
Classification: Applications
Product: kcharselect
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the search bar with certain search terms, kcharselect was hanging
"forever" (I kept it on for a few hours).
On turning on logging, I found it stopping at :
___
qt.text.font.match: Family name match pass: Looking for family name 'Iosevka
Nerd Font'
qt.text.font.match: QFontDatabasePrivate::match
request:
family: Iosevka Nerd Font [-- any --], script: 2
styleName: Regular
weight: 400, style: 0
stretch: 100
pixelSize: 13
pitch: m
qt.text.font.match: REMARK: looking for best foundry for family 'Iosevka Nerd
Font' [1]
qt.text.font.match: looking for matching style in foundry 'UKWN' 27
qt.text.font.match: best style has distance 0x0
qt.text.font.match: found smoothly scalable font (13 pixels)
qt.text.font.match: found a match: score 4000 best score so far
ffffffff
^C
___
Tried removing packages: extra/ttf-iosevka-nerd extra/ttf-iosevkaterm-nerd
Result: the hang reduced to a much more manageable duration.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Not sure, but do install extra/ttf-iosevka-nerd extra/ttf-iosevkaterm-nerd
1.1. I had just installed all ttf fonts in the Arch repos
1.2. Tried on another system with v25.08.1 (but not dumped all ttf fonts
unlike this system) and unable to reproduce the bug there
2. in KCharSelect search bar, try the strings
2.1. "lef" (I was going for "left")
2.2. "rig" ("right")
OBSERVED RESULT
- You become unable to type further
- the displayed characters are not updated
EXPECTED RESULT
- user is able to type the whole search string
- the character display gets updated
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: EndeavourOS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Only started happening in the past few months, so might be related to some
problem somewhere (maybe the font update?)
2. downgrading to ttf-iosevka-nerd-3.3.0-1-any and
ttf-iosevkaterm-nerd-3.3.0-1-any seems to "fix" the problem
