Subject: Re: libfreetype6: Many packages which use freetype now segfault

I tried to reproduce this. I took upgraded a two-week-old qemu sid image
(with basic X, but without GNOME), installed GNOME on it, and ran xchat
and gnumeric. Both started up fine.

Dennis, could you figure out which font is causing this?

Bug #302269 (filed against fontconfig, but seems to really be a problem
with libfreetype6) shows problem with a BDF font
(Small-Fonts_r400-3.bdf), for example. This might be related, or it
might not be, but knowing the font would be helpful.

Do the apps crash on you as soon as they start up or do you need to do
something else?
