Package: Emacs
Version: 24.3.50

I can reproduce it with many different fonts, like Droid Sans Mono and
Courier Prime, but not with Courier New.

emacs -Q -fn "Linux Libertine Mono-10"

Dmitry, can you take a look, please?

For everything from the list below:

emacs -Q -fn "Linux Libertine Mono-10"
emacs -Q -fn "Droid Sans Mono-10"
emacs -Q -fn "Courier Prime-10"

C-h h doesn't trigger eassert (with ENABLE_CHECKING) and doesn't
crash (with release build) for me. (Courier Prime looks ugly, and
it's not packaged by Fedora project, so I install it manually from
http://quoteunquoteapps.com/courierprime).

Juanma, could you please describe your environment and run temacs
under valgrind, e.g.

valgrind --tool=memcheck ./temacs -Q -fn "Linux Libertine Mono-10"

Dmitry

I'm running Emacs (a 32-bit build from trunk, with MinGW gcc 4.7.2) on
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. What else do you need to know?

Alas, there's no valgrind for Windows, AFAIK.

Anyway, the bug is a bit of a heisenbug (not uncommon for GC bugs).
Now, after updating trunk and rebuilding, I cannot trigger the
assertion failure with Droid Sans Mono or Linux Libertine Mono, but I
still can do it with Courier Prime, Source Code Pro, Inconsolata, Dark
Courier...

If there's anything you want me to try, just say so.

Valgrind is not available on MS-Windows.

With today's trunk, I cannot get a crash with Dark Courier and Courier
Prime.

Look at what valid_font_driver does, and see what kind of driver do
fails that test, and why.

I can no longer reproduce this bug with any font.

Does this mean that this font-related bug report can be closed?
