| Summary | 0002362: Scribus hangs or crashes while searching for fonts | ||||
| Description | A freshly installed Scribus/Aqua will not start but will stop at the Splash screen while searching for fonts. This bug was reported by users on the ML; I wasn't able to experience this myself. 1) With one user who experienced a freeze we traced it down to missing fc-cache1 files on his system. Workaround: call "/Library/Frameworks/Fontconfig2.framework/Versions/A/bin/fc-list" from Terminal and restart Scribus. 2) Two other users reported a "Too many open files" error. This is probably due to too many installed fonts and a bug in Freetype 2.1.10. Workaround: Install Freetype 2.19 instead and try again. | ||||

Scribus/Aqua crashes on OS during startup at step "Initialising Fontcache". All parts are installed as instructed (the .app in /Applications, all other stuff in /Library/Frameworks). What to do? Measures taken: 1. Installed and started Scribus (Aqua-flavour). Crashed. 2. As per cbradney's recommendation in bug 0002715, I've started it from the Terminal with /Applications/Scribus.app/Contents/bin/scribus --font-info and it crashed. This is the Terminal output: Die Schriftart /System/Library/Fonts/?????? Pro W4.otf ist fehlerhaft und wird ab sofort ignoriert [= "Font _____ is damaged and will be ignored from now on."--DJV] Die Schriftart /System/Library/Fonts/??????

Following above recommendation, I ran /Library/Frameworks/Fontconfig2.framework/Versions/A/bin/fc-list from the terminal, which returned Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file Then I launched Scribus again, which comfortably crashed during Fontcache initialization, patently producing the following error log: Date/Time: 2005-12-28 10:54:39 +0100 OS Version: 10.3.9 (Build 7W98) Report Version: 2 Command: Scribus Path: /Applications/Scribus.app/Contents/MacOS/Scribus Version: 1.3cvs (???)

FreeType is not installed AFAIK (I didn't set up this system). --Your kind advice is much appreciated. D. Vollkasko Librarian The Temporary Newton Library http://www.stillnewt.org/library |

The "too many open files" error was resolved in bug 0002881. Use the new Freetype.framework from http://aqua.scribus.net/index.html |
