Hello! Superficial bugreport...
backtrace: #0 0x00007ffff790dc3c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libfontforge.so.1 #1 0x00007ffff790f627 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libfontforge.so.1 #2 0x00007ffff79121d1 in NamesReadPDF () from /usr/lib/libfontforge.so.1 #3 0x000000000052afb6 in ?? () #4 0x0000000000bc93f0 in ?? () #5 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () I transfered several pdfs from my home directory to another one, as invoking fontforge with the '-new' option (which worked flawlessly) made me curious (thats why the backtrace). Boils down to none (pdf-filewise) in particular - removing them all causes no hickups either, but starting the program in a directoy full of (other) pdfs doesn't end in a segfault neither. Don't know what's wrong here: not a special file (umlauts,...) nor the (accumulated) size... Greetings
