 |
|
I recently encountered a problem in ephipany - right clicking on a link and selecting 'open in new tab' causes the browser to crash. The same thing happens if I click File -> new tab, or even Edit -> prefs. Epiphany spits the following to the commandline before dying:
| Code: |
(epiphany:12402): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** (epiphany:12402): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 87 (_pango_engine_shape_covers): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
(epiphany:12402): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** (epiphany:12402): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)
aborting...

what seems interesting to me, is that I havent installed any new software on the system recently, or otherwise done anything to purturb it. I've tried removing the .gnome2/epiphany directory, but still get the same problem. any ideas?

| Well, I eventually figured out a solution to the problem. Having my 'Application' and 'Desktop' fonts (in Gnome) set to a Unicode font called 'ClearlyU' was causing the problem. After changing that, problem solved. Strange... |

| ClearlyU is an attractive font and this problem needs to be investigated by someone who knows more than me. |

@brianahr:
i have the same problem with all the Pango + Gtk programs, they crash when doing something like browsing the open-file dialog or opening files on the desktop; you solved changing the font in gnome, how to do this? i don't use gnome, can you help me?

Are you using KDE? If so:
If you emerge gtk-qt-engine you can use it to specify the font. Or, you can create a .gtkrc in ~ and specify the font in there. That solved the problem for me that I was having with many gtk apps crashing with those errors. |

thank you for the advice @soulmata but unfortunately i don't use KDE, i user xfce4, so the .gtkrc solution cannot solve my problem

Thanks, it worked for me, I use KDE, I set to use the KDE fonts in GTK apps through GTK-Qt-engine
