#42034: gfontsampler: fails with segfault on startup. ----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: gfontsampler ----------------------+-------------------------------- Mac OS X 10.8.5 Xcode 5.0.2 Segfaults on startup as after many CRITICAL warning messages. Terminal output showing failure mode attached. This is a very old port that appears to have had no upstream development since 1999 or so. Original homepage no longer exists and nomaintainer. Failure mode suggests non-compliance with current gtk2, pango API standards. Is this worth fixing (required effort unknown) or is it a candidate for obsolescence, deletion? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42034> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Besides, I think that gnome-font-viewer currently provided by gnome-utils is probably a reasonable replacement. However, it needs to be updated see #42035. Of course, if this is someone's favorite app then maybe they would step up as maintainer. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42034#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

If you have an objection now is the time to speak up. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42034#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
