broken fonts that crash krita on startup
Krita's recent nightly builds merged a significant amount of new text tool
code. However, the latest appimages (7d7928dcc4, 2025-02-15) crash at startup
during the "Loading resources..." phase.
I attempted to remove all Krita settings and resources, but it didn't resolve
the issue. Running the same appimages on a new user account worked fine.
The only differing resources seemed to be user-installed fonts. I discovered
two broken fonts in my system. After removing them, the appimages launched
successfully again.
Here are the problematic fonts for your reference (see attachment), which may
help you develop a mechanism to prevent such issues:
华康简标题宋.TTF
This font was installed on my system; Kfont could not identify its content.
HKBS.TTF
I don't recall installing this one; Kfont also failed to recognize its content.
Windows 11 couldn't open these fonts as well. They belong to an outdated
collection called "Fonts for Official Documents" used in my organization.
