You may actually getting a crash inside FreeType when attempting to load a
broken font.  Using gdb to get a stack trace would show whether Fontconfig 
or FreeType was having trouble.

In any case, you can locate which file is causing the problem with:

$ FC_DEBUG=128 fc-cache -f

This will print out the name of each file scanned by the system.  The last 
name should point out the font file that the system is having trouble 
with.

There is also a new development snapshot available (2.2.97).  It''s 
possible (although unlikely) that this version will work with your fonts.

Yes, the wiki is quite busted.  Sorry about that.  I''ve fixed it so
that
the stable series can be located from the main page again.  It remains at

	http://fontconfig.org/release

Thanks much.

I''m getting a coredump when I try to run fc-cache -f from a new

fontconfig-2.2.96 built on aix 5.2, gcc 3.3.

I saw that it was a devel snapshot, so wanted to revert to a stable version.
But 2.2.3 seems to be unavailable because your wiki is busted?


Is this project alive?
