Title:
evince crashes in FcConfigParseAndLoad
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have the following situation persistently on my system (Ubuntu
18.04.1 on Dell Latitude E6500):
Evince called with any pdf file crashes immediately with a
segmentation fault. From the crash dump, I see that the crash happens
in fontconfig's FcConfigParseAndLoad function, i.e. when the system
fonts.conf is read. I can reproduce the crash with the following
minimal example:
----
#include </usr/include/fontconfig/fontconfig.h>
const FcChar8* filename = "/home/mirkoh/fontconfig-test/fonts.conf";
FcConfig* config;
int main(){
FcConfigParseAndLoad(config, filename, FcTrue);
}
----
The fonts.conf file used here is also absolutely minimal:
----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
</fontconfig>
----
(Get me right. It first happened with my system fonts.conf, which is
not empty. In order to find out whether a specific entry lead to the
crash, I deleted entry after entry, ultimately reaching the file
above, and always FcConfigParseAndLoad crashes.
I have no idea how to go on from here.
