Re: NetBeans crashing

I see you mention Vera fonts, I do not have these installed on my system, but netbeans 4.1beta seems to crash a lot anyway.
Netbeans crashes as far as i can tell, when it is either recompiling or searching libraries. (this is just an impression i got)

Anyways it almost always crashes on thread 14, and it always writes this in the log file: Java_sun_awt_font_NativeFontWrapper_getFontMetrics
but aside from what is mentioned in the log file, I have no clue what so ever about why. I thought a while back that it had something to do with me changing
the editor font to monaco, but it crashes all the same with the default selected font - "monospaced 13"

One of my 100 crash log entries:
Thread 14 Crashed:
0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x908311ec objc_msgSend + 0xc
1 libawt.jnilib 0x78f12360 Java_sun_awt_font_NativeFontWrapper_getFontMetrics + 0xf4

Indeed there are Bitstream Vera font files there. Probably installed by
NeoOffice/J. But I am kind of hesitant to say these are bad fonts given the
reputation of Bitstream and popularity of Vera.

I'm not suggesting "bad" in the sense of malformed files. I'm only
suggesting that they might lead to a manifestation of the problem, not that
they are the primary cause. The fonts themselves could be perfectly good,
but could simply precipitate a bug that can be avoided by removing fonts.

Font problems may be hard to pin to a specific malformed font. For
example, some versions of Java on Mac OS X would misbehave if there were
certain duplicate fonts in the user's Fonts folder. The fonts themselves
were apparently OK. Something just objected to the duplication of a font's
name, or couldn't figure out the override.


I didn't configure NetBeans to use Vera fonts. Can the app crash even if it
only interates the bad fonts not actually use them?

Hard to say. I've seen it go both ways. And I've seen it fail simply from
the number of fonts present, not anything related to a bad font or a
duplicated font or anything else discernible.
