Using the Fedora Core 3 packaging of xorg, I can repeatably crash the X server on 3 different machines with the recipe below. At the request of the Fedora team, I am reporting the crash here (see Fedora bug 125973). Note that I am logging into the default locale; in particular, none of the locale environment variables are set at all for the X server. 1) Start xfontsel 2) Choose foundry "arphic technology co.". Note that after this step, the part of the window containing the sample text has not been redrawn correctly. 3) Choose family "ar pl kaitim big5" 4) Choose registry "iso10646" At this point, the X server segfaults. Note that ftlint finds no problems with the font file, which is /usr/share/fonts/zh_TW/TrueType/bkai00mp.ttf on my Fedora machines.
starting with the 6.8.99.14 snapshot, on linux systems, the X server can print its own backtrace when it crashes. please confirm that these bugs are still valid with 6.8.99.14 or later, and if they are please attach a the server log from the crash.
reporter: does this still occur with 6.9/7.0 ?
Closing due to the lack of activity. Please reopen if you still have this issue using a current version of xorg.
