Bug Description

After Upgrading from Precise 12.04 to Trusty 14.04 (Fresh Install + transfer of packages) I can't open my /usr/share/pixmaps folder in Nautilus 3.10. Displaying the thumbnails makes it crashing.

Packages : nautilus 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4
Problem type : Crash
Title : nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in FT_Render_Glyph_Internal()
Architecture : amd64
CurrentDesktop : Unity

That was not the case in Precise 12.04

/usr/share/applications is displayed appropriately.

Again, as reported days ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1410918 (JPEG 2000 .jp2 .j2k thumbnails crashed Nautilus 3.10), the Marlin File Manager has no problem for displaying these thumbnails.

The source of the cause is again GNOME Nautilus 3.10.

They seem to do a poor job for displaying thumbnails, although in modern OS(s) this is an essential part of the system and why the Mac OS X is praised by Professional Photographers and others in the multimedia arena.

Same problem on 15.04. I am running Infinality though, which is too useful to remove, but also does custom things to freetype.

Still bitten by the jp2 bug. What's this been - for 6 years now?
