--- Comment #6 from Göran Uddeborg goeran@uddeborg.se 2008-09-01 14:09:23 --- I was wrong, the crash isn't introduced between the two versions. The crash is triggered by the presence of a particular font file. (ukai.ttf from the cjkunifonts-ukai package in Fedora.)
To my defence, this looked as it depended on the wine version for this reason: I had a prepared .wine tree where the ukai was not in the registry. It was created before that font was installed. If I ran an old enough version of wine, it would only use the fonts it found. If I ran a newer version it would go through /usr/share/fonts and find new fonts.
But if I install everything completely from scratch, I am able to trigger the bug using 0.9.52 too.
Is there any way to convince wine not to use one font otherwise available on the system?
