Description Sammy 2001-08-28 20:13:39 UTC
Description of Problem:

This may not be considered a bug but I put all my Type1 fonts,
including the Ghostscript fonts into one directory. Ghostscript
includes 4-5 gsf files. When these are in that directory executing
xftcache gives a segfault. When they are removed it works ok.

Hmm.  That is a mixed one...  Nothing should segfault if programmed
correctly, so I'd have to agree there is a bug.  I'm not sure however
what the correct operation should be to handle the situation.  My
first inclination is to say that gsf fonts are not Type1 fonts and
shouldn't be in that directory.  WHile that may be true, it still
shouldn't segfault though.  This problem is better looked into by
those upstream at XFree86 who are more familiar with font related
issues.

Please file this bug report to XFree86 developers at:

Thanks.
