README for gtk-maglis-000309-0.patch.gz This file is a patch against GTK+ 1.2.7 It changes one file, gtk/gtkfontsel.c NOTE: This patch renders gtk-maglis-000308-0.patch.gz obsolete. In some systems there are fonts with a `nil' foundry. The font selection dialog code does not check for this. The result is a core dump (segv.) The patch converts the "(nil)" string in the font foundry to a "" string and everything works fine. I also changed the GTK function that attempts to load a font to early check if the font can be loaded. These two bugs combined result in the application to crash. I applied the patch with the following command, from the gtk+-1.2.7 dir: patch -p1 -i gtk-maglis-000309-0.patch ---- Grigorios Magklis maglis@cs.rochester.edu
