The crash in question is in the X server's freetype module which supports server-side fonts. You'll need to use an app which uses the (older) server-side font support to trigger the bug. An easy choice is xfd(1x) with a -fn option. Eg: xfd -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-m-0-iso10646-1 should trigger the bug if you have the freetype module loaded and an entry in a fonts.dir file in your fontpath that points that XLFD to a scalable font. -JimC -- James H.
