The system has a large number of fonts installed in /usr/local, most of them type 1 (which calibre doesn't even seem able to handle) originating from some commercial font DVDs, LaTeX related, and several open source fonts. This has been working for years and no other application has ever complained (though not all can use all fonts). calibre-1.9-180.1.x86_64.rpm calibre-0.9.13-2.2.1.x86_64.rpm from the KED:Extras repo Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start from command line to see the error msg. 2. 3. Actual Results: Application crashes on startup before any window is opened. Upstream is not interested in fixing it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
