Thank you for the help!

It indeed fixed the issue.

I applied the two following patches (extracted with git format-patch) since 2.5.4; to 2.5.4

0007-pcf-Fix-Savannah-bug-43774.patch
0016-src-pcf-pcfread.c-pcf_read_TOC-Improve-fix-from-2014.patch

and the font issue disappear.

Best,
Chris.

There is a fatal problem with uncompressed PCF fonts, introduced in 2.5.4 (and already fixed in the git repository). Please try whether xterm works if you compress all your PCF fonts (e.g. with gzip).

It would also help if you could try the current git version.

Hi guys,
sorry for the very non-detailled bug report; but we have just upgraded freetype2 on the mageia GNU/Linux from 2.5.3 to latest 2.5.4.

An unexpected side effect has been to break various fonts in linked applications like terminology (Enlightenment terminal)

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14785

which, as far as, I understand should not have happened as the ABI did not change. That might suggest a bug introduced in 2.5.4?

Sorry if this is not the case, but any advices where to look at would be appreciated!

Thanks for the help,
cheers,
chris.
