Hi, could you share the fonts in question? I'd like to see if I can recognise they're broken, and if so avoid loading them! Ah, sorry, hadn't realised you already attached them. Thanks! Ok, quick look with fontforge it seems both the cmap and the os/2 table version of these fonts are broken, so I know I can test against that at the least.

Fix loading TTF fonts without a family name. Previously we only had this check for non-TTF fonts.

Created attachment 178401 [details] 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 They belong to an outdated collection called "Fonts for Official Documents" used in my organization.
