fontforge seems to crash quartz-wm

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Opening against fontforge, rather than quartz-wm as fontforge is the likely culprit.

Same crash when installing fontforge with no variants.

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Same install of fontforge seems to work on other OSX machines.

All machines running XCode-5.0.2 + OSX-10.9.2 with same script installing many Ports. Unsure what the difference might be.

Well that, and also it appears that you are using the quartz-wm from XQuartz instead of the quartz-wm from MacPorts. Besides FontForge, have you tried to see if any other X11 programs cause this crash as well?

Cc Me!

Hum...

I do see /opt/X11/*/quartz-wm as the path in the crash.

Peculiar.

which quartz-wm returns - /opt/local/bin/quartz-wm - as expected.

So... somehow FontForge is using the system X11, instead of MacPorts...

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Running a recursive search on /Applications/MacPorts/FontForge.app for things like quartz + X11 + PATH turn up no hint of why this is occurring.

/Applications/MacPorts/FontForge.app/Contents/MacOS/FontForge links to /opt/local/bin/fontforge as expected...

Running 'strings fontforge' turns up no hard coding of paths...

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

I'm guessing I can somehow remove the system Quartz + maybe this will fix the problem.

If there is a correct/clean way to do this, please add an update to this ticket.

Thanks.

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Maybe this will do the trick.

rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app /etc/X11 /usr/X11R6

Let me know if there's a better way.

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Also looks like there's cruft in...

rm -rf /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6

rm -rf $(find /private | grep X11)

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Also...

rm -rf /Library/Launch*/org.macosforge.xquartz.*

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Removed all traces of system X11 + removed + reinstalled MacPorts.

Now new problem occurs of...

David-Favor-iMac# pwd
/Applications/MacPorts/FontForge.app/Contents/MacOS
