Summary0002362: Scribus hangs or crashes while searching for fonts
DescriptionA 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/?????? Pro W3.otf ist fehlerhaft und wird ab sofort ignoriert
Die Schriftart /System/Library/Fonts/?????? Pro W6.otf ist fehlerhaft und wird ab sofort ignoriert

Die Schriftart /System/Library/Fonts/????.ttf ist fehlerhaft und wird ab sofort ignoriert
Die Schriftart /System/Library/Fonts/????.ttf ist fehlerhaft und wird ab sofort ignoriert
dyld: /Applications/Scribus.app/Contents/bin/scribus can't open library: /System/Library/CoreServices/Encodings/libJapaneseConverter.dylib (Too many open files, errno = 24)
Trace/BPT trap



    3. 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 (???)
PID: 14274
Thread: Unknown

Link (dyld) error:

dyld: /Applications/Scribus.app/Contents/MacOS/Scribus can't open library: /System/Library/CoreServices/Encodings/libJapaneseConverter.dylib (Too many open files, errno = 24)



    What measure next? FreeType is not installed AFAIK (I didn't set up this system).



--Your kind advice is much appreciated.

The "too many open files" error was resolved in bug 0002881.

Use the new Freetype.framework from http://aqua.scribus.net/index.html
