To close the loop here: in this case, the issue was not with any individual font. Instead, it was caused by the presence of more than 255 unique fonts on Paul's system -- a single code path failed to properly account for this with the result being corrupted memory and undefined behaviour. This is fixed in build #5346. J. ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

When I remove that one from the font directory, NetSurf behaves nicely and won't scan the fonts next time that it is started. I will send you the log file privately. Do you wish to receive the font in question as well? Yes.

Pi4 / RISC OS 5.29 (19-Feb-21) and some large unicode fonts. Switching the unicode fonts off avoids the error, but NetSurf will still keep scanning the fonts at each new boot. If the scan completes, then it will not scan again unless one or more of the following is the case: 1. The installed fonts change 2. The cache file in !Scrap does not exist Note that the cache file has moved in recent versions of NetSurf so, if you have something that cleans out scrap on boot, it will need to be updated to preserve the RUfl cache.

I attempted to reproduce this fault, but, for me, #5345 scanned the fonts once and once only. Neither restarting NS, nor rebooting the machine, resulted in the fonts being rescanned. Paul, did you update your !System and !Boot from the #5345 zip?

Dear developers, The latest build (#5345) keeps scanning the active font folders at each start up and quits with an error before ending it. I had to revert to #5342 to get rid of this behaviour.
