Behdad,
any idea why the messages in comment #0 appear? Is it caused by fontconfig or something else?

Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-10-30 22:56:08 UTC
I don't know.  Sounds like a powerpc-specific issue.  We need such a broken file and access to powerpc to debug.

Comment 12 Akira TAGOH 2013-02-12 09:43:15 UTC
Is this issue still reproducible? if so, any further information to debug it?
