Wine Fails to start with excessive number of fonts
Last modified: 2015-02-17 12:08:59 EST
Description of problem: I had a very large number of fonts locally installed (in .fonts) ... up to 2500 files (mostly .otf files) Wine fails to start with err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting Reducing the number of fonts available (now there are 496 files) fixed the issue Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : wine Version : 1.7.1 Release : 2.fc19 Architecture: x86_64 How reproducible: The problem was systematic; every time wine failed to start after having fully filled all available memory. Not even console applications (like cmd.exe) seemed to work Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install many fonts locally 2. Try to run wine 3. Actual results: After filling out most of the available memory wine prints some time out warnings and then fails to start with error err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting Expected results: The expected program starts. Additional info: I have not had this problem with previous versions of wine (the same fonts were installed); perhaps it is an upstream issue. In any case, reducing the number of fonts seemed to be able to solve the problem.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
