I suspect this has to do with the extraordinarily long font names that Ubuntu has by default - it tries to fit this into a fixed sized buffer without any length checking. > Could you please keep me updated on any changes? If you have a launchpad account, you can hit https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linsmith/ and select "Bugmail settings" to get any reports about linsmith automatically sent to you. I guess upstream authors would ideally be added by default, or at least invited, but it might be taken as spam. The Debian developers I've interacted with usually encourage me to subscribe to their BTS when it gets included into Debian. Kind regards, Bernard. -- crash on launch https://launchpad.net/bugs/66242 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
