I find that I get crashes until ~/.nedit is populated. I've gotten in
the habit of copying that directory from a working system when
installing a new one.

There are still many crashes being reported in the Error Tracker
regarding this:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/bin/nedit%3A11%3Ainitialize%3ACallInitialize%3AxtCreate%3A_XtCreateWidget%3A_XtVaCreateWidget
It seems to be currently affecting Wily and Xenial.

Did I even mentioned I reported this upstream and that a patch is available
there?

Doesn't it make more sense to do this in Motif as you mentioned
earlier?
I have tried running just about every Motif package on Vivid without
xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi installed.
Some of them do appear a little different, but none of them segfault.
This looks like a bug in NEdit to me,
This bug was fixed in the package nedit - 1:5.6-1ubuntu1

So this looks like it is an Ubuntu-specific problem.
In Debian, xorg depends on:
xfonts-base (= 1:1.0.0-1),
xfonts-100dpi (= 1:1.0.0-1),
xfonts-75dpi (= 1:1.0.0-1),
xfonts-scalable (= 1:1.0.0-1),
This was changed in Ubuntu some time ago:

Paul, shall I just upload NEdit with the added Recommends line to Ubuntu
for now?
Doesn't it make more sense to do this in Motif as you mentioned earlier?
If not, fixing this in Ubuntu only for now is fine of course, but fixing
it via Debian (although it is not strictly needed there) is fine
I have no idea. Why do you think that would make sense, is it because
motif now has XFT support?
Possibly because Motif now has XFT support, and possibly it should
always have been there.
I was about to work on the updated NEdit
package, do you want me to wait?
Yes, please wait. We still
Hi Graham and Maven,
Given the fact that your testing showed that having the latest NEdit
version doesn't help this specific issue, I tend to only go for the
solution that Graham suggested: the depends/recommends field.
I'll try to prepare an upload, but may not get around it today. Monday

Thanks Paul.
If I understand policy correctly, that must be a Recommends, not a Depends:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s11.8.5
There's also a Linitan error: package-depends-on-an-x-font-package.
I agree that NEdit should be made more robust against the
Paul, just a quick thought.
Should we rather be adding the
Recommends: xfonts-100dpi | xfonts-75dpi | xfonts-100dpi-transcoded |
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded
line to libxm4 ?

And the code goes on to declare some variables, although I don't think
they are used (there is a check for USE_XFT==1 and I don't see it set
anywhere).
Well, compiling with USE_XFT=0 gives me indeed the fonts as they looked
before, so I start to believe that the setup of Maven is really using
5.6a still segfaults for me without any of the xfonts-* packages installed.
Do you know what else is new in 5.6a? ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes seem to be
out of date.
If you are happy to add the Recommends line to 5.6.1 and upload to
Experimental, I will sync that into Ubuntu.
It will be good to
I was able to reproduce the problem by uninstalling xfonts-75dpi and
xfonts-100dpi.
So another solution might be for nedit to recommend those fonts, as is done in
grace (which is the package I happened to have installed on Vivid):
Recommends: xfonts-100dpi | xfonts-75dpi |

Could you please test the NEdit package from my PPA [1] once it is
published (shouldn't take long, they are already built)?

Line 781 in text.c tries to do something with a font parameter. I must
admit I don't know how to change that on the top of my head, but could
you try to change the default font (or the font for nedit) before
starting it?

Interesting that you mention fonts. When I opened Nedit in Vivid I
noticed the fonts were very different to what they were in Utopic.
Compare the screenshots attached.

Well, between 5.6~cvs20081118-9 and 5.6-1 not much changed except
some small stuff
So my Vivid install is fairly clean, it was installed from the
ubuntu-15.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso image about a week ago.
I attach the output of 'dpkg -l *font* | grep ii', is it very
different to what you have?
