Hi, I'm not certain if there's still much of a point in filing bug reports for Qt4, so I'll just mention the issue I ran into yesterday here.
I've been using Harfbuzz text rendering on Mac, and started getting crashes with certain content after I upgraded the harfbuzz library to 1.7.6 . I traced the crash to an out-of-boundary issue at the end of HB_HeuristicSetGlyphAttributes() in src/3rdparty/harfbuzz/src/harfbuzz-shaper.cpp, apparently because the function gets called with an item that has length=0. I cannot say I understand the context, nor why this could happen when Qt4 apparently uses its own harfbuzz copy, but the issue is reproducible and can be avoided with this workaround: https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/blob/master/aqua/qt4-mac-devel/files/patch-harfbuzz-support.diff Note that harfbuzz support is always built in, but either always active (`configure -harfbuzz`) or activatable with QT_ENABLE_HARFBUZZ=1 .
