Nautilus doesn't cope with tiny fonts, and goes into SIGSEGV loop

[Martijn vdS]

Binary package hint: nautilus

(this might be a related to bug #114498 -- my fonts are "size 7")

I have my fonts set to a tiny size, because my display is 150DPI. For some reason, Nautilus doesn't like this, and goes into a SIGSEGV loop.

If Nautilus is started at the beginning of the session, it works until I click an icon on the desktop or try to open a Nautilus window from the Places menu. If I then killall -9 nautilus, and restart it by hand, it'll go into the crash loop immediately.

Setting the font size to 8 instead of 7 makes the crashes go away.

I'll attach the nautilus-debug-log.txt

I have my fonts set to a tiny size, because my display is 150DPI. For some reason, Nautilus doesn't like this, and goes into a SIGSEGV loop the moment I click something.

Setting the font size to 8 instead of 7 fixes this.

I can confirm this issue, when setting the Application & Desktop font to Bitstream Vera Sans at 7pt.

This seems _not_ to happen with "Sans".

Ubuntu bug with a similar crash on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/115482

When setting the fonts to "7" nautilus crashes, using "8" works correctly

Thank you for your bug. The backtrace matches https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10817

Most probably fixed already. Reopen if happens with 1.4.8.

the bug should be fixed in gutsy, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue though
