Description Sergei Kasaurov 2010-05-20 10:30:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I've been using free public PT Sans font by ParaType (http://www.paratype.com/public/) for six months and all was OK. I haven't tried to use KOrganizer so far. But when I open it and then tried to open it's preferences dialog my KOrganizer crashed with segmentation fault. This bug reproduces every time I open KOrganizer preferences dialog.

Trying to find the cause of this crash I found that it is using PT Sans as general KDE font.

I created a new user account from scratch that have default DejaVu KDE fonts. No crash. Then I installed PT Sans as user font and chose it as a general KDE font (other kinds of fonts don't affect on that bug). Opening KOrganizer preferences dialog crashed the application.

I'm at Kubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04, KDE 4.4.3.

Please post a valgrind report.

Just run valgrind korganizer --nofork &> log.txt

and attach the log.txt file after it crashed

The bug is fixed in KDE 4.5 beta2 (sorry, could not try beta1).
