There have been other reports but none with resolution. I suspect it's a font which crashes fontconfig or FreeType. To test this theory, you can rebuild the font cache manually: # FC_DEBUG=128 fc-cache -f If this crashes, the last line should indicate which file it was attempting to scan before the failure. It's possible that the new unstable version of fontconfig (2.3.1-1) will work for you; it has several font scanning fixes. -keith pgpAwGpHPaHiR.pgp Description: PGP signature
