[Bug 872070] Re: fontforge segmentation fault when loading a font or creating a new one

[Mark Jackson]

Same problem for me.

Ubuntu 11.10
Linux mpfj-i5 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have attached the strace output if that helps.

Title:
  fontforge segmentation fault when loading a font or creating a new one

Status in “fontforge” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I start FontForge, the window saying FontForge appears along with
  a window where I can choose the font to load or to create a new one.

  I can choose either option and FontForge will crash.
