in thread Tk fonts crash on Fedora

shmem
Really? Does it still work if you add say 6 buttons?
I looked and I am running same Tk (804.027) and Font (4.004) with fc6 and fc7.
I wonder why yours is working at all. I have seen it do three but fail at 4 or 5.

Also if it was a failed font package, wouldn't it seg fault at the first use? no?
If I run it with just 2 buttons it loads (with what looks to be right font) and runs ok
(other than the seg fault when exiting..which I also don't understand).

Thanks for the help!!

    Yes, it just runs. 6,7...12 buttons, no problem.

    --shmem

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                  /\_¯/(q    /
    ----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
    ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
      shmem
      Did you install your Tk via yum or via CPAN, apparently there is a difference (see comment in discussion with zentara). I had no idea. Thanks again for helping!

        Er... uhm, yes. I did build my own, based on the Fedora source package, since an essential Tk desktop application I use every day bombed off. I don't remember where I got the patches from, but here are the rpms:

        The patches are included in the source rpm.

        --shmem

        _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                      /\_¯/(q    /
        ----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
        ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
