Re: [Bug: 21.5-b28] Crash when printing

A possible cause of the printing problem could be a font issue! It seems that when I get the warning (in the *Warnings* buffer) (1) (font/notice) Unable to instantiate font for charset jit-ucs-charset-0, face default the printing crash occurs. Do not know where the relevant code might be found, but at least it is something that you might try to reproduce. And I would hope that it is something that XEmacs can catch and handle in some way.
