ibm font crash xterm and others
Last modified: 2005-12-12 17:41:47 UTC
the ibm font works fine when displayed with xfd: xfd -fn -ibm-courier-bold-*-normal--250-1808-100-100-m-1500-iso8859-1 but crashes with xterm eating all available mem. xterm -fn -ibm-courier-bold-i-normal--250-1808-100-100-m-1500-iso8859-1 _XF86BigfontQueryFont: could not attach shm segment Speicherzugriffsfehler (segfault) xterm -fn "-ibm-courier-bold-r-normal--10-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1" crashes also I experimented with other sizes/codestets all the same but access to the font via fontstools is not a problem It is not a simple font to big problem. i found that i can use this font without any problems: xterm -fn "-adobe-utopia-bold-i-normal--150-*-100-100-*-*-iso8859-1" this bug could be related to 117562. what sound to me a locale problem. my current versions: xterm-203-5 xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-100.2
I cannot reproduce this on 10.1 Alpha3. Feel free to reopen, if it surfaces for you with 10.1.
I cannot reproduce it either.
Did you try a vanilla SUSE10.0 32bit ? if not is there an X11 update available ? :~> xterm -fn -ibm-courier-bold-i-normal--250-1808-100-100-m-1500-iso8859-1 _XF86BigfontQueryFont: could not attach shm segment Speicherzugriffsfehler
Currently there is no X11 update available. This is work-in-progress.
Yes, I can reproduce it on SuSE 10.0 32bit. The problem disappears when updating to xterm 207 though. Updated xterm packages for 10.0 are here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0/RPMS/i586/xterm-207-1.1.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0/RPMS/ppc/xterm-207-1.1.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0/RPMS/ppc64/xterm-207-1.1.ppc64.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0/RPMS/src/xterm-207-1.1.src.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/10.0/RPMS/x86_64/xterm-207-1.1.x86_64.rpm That means it is most likely an xterm bug and it is most likely already fixed in the latest version of xterm. Please try these updated xterm packages.
