This is not related to fonts I assume. I had long ago filed bug report with emacs24 for this ¹. But sadly it got closed as emacs24 went out of archive (And I did not notice that). Jonas I think we can safely re-assign this bug to emacs25. In my case crash was mostly Unicode character (Kannada) specific. ¹ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=826299

Interesting! I will make sure to pass this upstream to the developers of Noto. Please also file a separate bugreport against emacs, as I am sure they would love to know about the crashing bug on their side (and I don't use emacs myself so cannot sensibly report that on my own). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
Bug#890211: fonts-noto-hinted: Certain font characters crash Emacs 25
Package: fonts-noto-hinted Version: 20171026-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I went to open mpc in Emacs, and my artists (and song titles) are in multiple languages, including Kannada (the font for which I found this problem). A very specific character (ಕು) caused Emacs to crash. This was reproducible multiple times using both the GTK+ and Lucid builds of Emacs 25. I uninstalled the package, which prevented the crash (that is, other fonts - e.g. the ones provided by fonts-knda - do not have this problem and do not cause Emacs to crash). I can provide more information if needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
