Was bitten by this too - or something very similar at least. If I start emacs-snapshot -Q, then M-x customize-face, default, set font-family to unknown-inconsolata, it would work as long as I don't complete anything. But completing anything would trigger it: e.g., C-x C-f, hit TAB after the "~/". Leads to a different signal though - segmentation fault (11).
Note that xfontsel thinks that inconsolata has "spc" equal to "p" for proportional. That seems strange. The full XLFDs are: -unknown-inconsolata-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1 -unknown-inconsolata-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso8859-15 -unknown-inconsolata-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-0-iso10646-1 -- sigabrt when font face set to Inconsolata https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
