FreeType memory leak
FruitieX created issue #186 (closed) on 2010-11-10T21:45:31Z:
FreeType sometimes seems to cause a memory leak when starting up DP, at least with the nimbussans font. DejaVu seems fine so far. (only testing since one hour :-P) Also interesting: executing the nimbussans font config repeatedly causes a slow leak, but this does not happen if you try the same with dejavu. Several testers have had this happening, and have to kill DP through a TTY when it happens. Simply restarting DP after killing it and it’s been fine in all cases so far.
Pretty serious bug. Seems to happen in release builds too.
