I have not pushed recent release to Fedora 25. Can you verify if this scratch build works for you? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=20580713
I am sorry, but this build didn't solve the issue for me.
Created attachment 1300388 [details] fontforge strace Here is strace of fontforge when segfault happened.
When I run fontforge as root, segfault doesn't happen.

(In reply to Zdenek Dohnal from comment #2) > I am sorry, but this build didn't solve the issue for me. Do you have any external font installed? I mean font that is not installed by any official Fedora package. I looked into the strace but I could not get anything from it to understand this segfault. On my F25 VM, I can use fontforge without any issue.
I don't think so, here is list of directories in /usr/share/fonts: abattis-cantarell gnu-free google-noto-emoji lohit-assamese lohit-kannada opensymbol sil-nuosu thai-scalable adobe-source-han-sans-cn google-android-emoji jomolhari lohit-bengali lohit-odia paktype-naskh-basic sil-padauk vlgothic default google-crosextra-caladea khmeros lohit-devanagari lohit-tamil paratype-pt-sans smc dejavu google-crosextra-carlito liberation lohit-gujarati lohit-telugu sil-abyssinica stix gdouros-symbola google-noto lklug lohit-gurmukhi naver-nanum sil-mingzat tabish-eeyek
I forgot to mention it works in Fedora 26.
I try it on clean Fedora 25 VM, and it works fine - sorry for bothering you, I have probably issue in my main machine. Closing as NOTABUG.
