Package: xterm
Version: 340-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
after updating from 337-1 to 338-1 in testing, xterm crashes with a segfault
when certain Unicode characters appear in the buffer. This only happens when I
have selected a font using the -fa option. It doesn't seem to matter which font
it is. (I've randomly tried a few from my fc-list.)
I've installed 340-1 from unstable, but the bug persists.
As I came across this issue while reading mails in mutt, I've tried to identify
the exact characters causing it. It turned out that these commands cause the
crash:
$ /usr/bin/printf "\U0001F384" # U+1F384 CHRISTMAS TREE
$ /usr/bin/printf "\U0001F385" # U+1F385 FATHER CHRISTMAS
$ /usr/bin/printf "\U0001F3E1" # U+1F3E1 HOUSE WITH GARDEN
$ /usr/bin/printf "\U0001F644" # U+1F644 FACE WITH ROLLING EYES
Whereas these commands work fine:
$ /usr/bin/printf "\U0001F601" # U+1F601 GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES
$ /usr/bin/printf "\U0001F604" # U+1F604 SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH
AND SMILING EYES
To reproduce this bug, run one of the aforementioned commands after starting
xterm with e.g.
$ xterm -fa 'Noto Mono'
When leaving out -fa, xterm doesn't crash.
Please find below a backtrace.
As the bug was introduced after updating xterm (libfontconfig1 remained
untouched during that update), I'm filing this under xterm for the time being.
xterm 337-1 doesn't crash. Interestingly, though, in 337-1 all six
above-mentioned characters are not displayed at all when running with e.g.
-fa 'Noto Mono'. I just see a two-glyph-wide blank space. Whereas in 338-1 and
340-1, the two non-crashing characters U+1F601 and U+1F604 are actually
displayed.
I've found a bug report from Arch Linux that looks similar:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61115
But the last comment there claims the bug disappeared in 340 which is not the
case for me.
I don't know a great deal about X font handling, so in case you need more info,
please try to explain in detail what you need to know. Thanks in advance. Also,
I don't care that much if those special glyphs are actually displayed correctly
in my xterm or not, it's just that xterm shouldn't crash.
