Hmmmmmm... it looks like for me it was simply a matter of having a bad package installed...
At one point I installed emacs-snapshot version 1:20080228-2~gutsy from Alex Vassalotti. I realized at some point that emacs-snapshot in the regular archives were now also built with xft support, and removed avassalotti's repository from my sources.list. But apparently I never "downgraded" to a version in the main repositories. By installing emacs-snapshot-dbgsym, I was forced to realize this and downgrade to 1:20080228-1ubuntu1, which does not have this problem. -- 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
