Thanks a lot for testing! > Sorry about the fc-cache problem. Yaakov, any further thoughts on this? Yeah, a solution to this problem would be nice. The exceptions and stackdumps this problem produces are quite ephemeral and tend to be a bit different with each invocation of Emacs. What I don't understand is, why the fc cache, if too old and not exactly matches the current state of the fonts, crashes at all. It would be nice to get rid of this crash and have at least just some error message instead.
