Description David Woodhouse 2005-06-28 15:51:43 UTC

The installer was stuck for over 20 minutes before I gave up and rebooted it. It
said it was installing fontconfig. The estimated time to completion was not
decreasing.

Am running the upgrade again without a serial console this time -- should be
able to see what it's actually doing, and kill it manually so that the upgrade
can complete.

Comment 1 David Woodhouse 2005-06-28 17:25:38 UTC

Offending font.

It seems to be a font that freetype doesn't like. It goes into an endless
loop...

Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-10-30 20:33:21 UTC

How does the current 2.2.1 FreeType like that font?

Comment 3 David Woodhouse 2006-11-27 11:05:35 UTC

As far as I can tell it ignores it completely (tested by putting it in
/usr/share/fonts/font_cd and running 'fc-cache -v':

/usr/share/fonts/font_cd: skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs

I added the rest of the CD again to see what happens. OpenOffice has taken ten
minutes to start up so far, and counting...

Comment 4 David Woodhouse 2006-11-27 11:51:46 UTC

It's been almost an hour now.... strace suggests it's not actually doing
anything, and gdb shows this...

Comment 6 David Woodhouse 2006-11-27 12:11:24 UTC

Life's too short to download the debuginfo to match and get a proper backtrace.
I tried isolating the font which causes this. It seems to be a PostScript font
-- all the TTF fonts are fine.

Using just the 'eurost.pfb' which was attached to this bug before, I saw no
problem (and the font was ignored). Using 'a*' I get something different
(although the trace seems to be from the wrong thread):

Comment 7 David Woodhouse 2006-11-27 12:45:20 UTC

OK, the backtrace there seems to be something else -- it happens sometimes even
when I don't have the extra fonts installed. I'll investigate that later.

The font which causes the endless loop in OpenOffice is in my home directory in
RDU, in ~dwmw2/futuri/ -- it only happens when the AFM file is present.

Comment 8 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-27 13:53:54 UTC

comment #6 is glibc bug 210748

Comment 9 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-27 15:31:39 UTC

Oooside of this is caused by a trailing ^Z instead of a final newline. 
I upstreamed a fix for that as

Comment 11 Caolan McNamara 2008-04-04 06:57:56 UTC

I fixed the OOoside of this ages ago. Wrt. the fontconfig side of it, given the
FC-6 time frame of this we might as well close it.
