* Fixes NixOS#284880 * Also discussed on https://discourse.nixos.org/t/freecad-failed-to-compute-left-right-minimum-bearings-for-cursor-pcf/35266 Symptom is that failure to load a fixed font is followed by a flood of 'Failed to compute left/right minimum bearings for "cursor.pcf"' messages that can freeze up the machine. Isssue FreeCAD issue tracker FreeCAD/FreeCAD#10514 Is not yet fixed, but with a working solution, which has not made it into the repo yet: FreeCAD/FreeCAD#10514 (comment) The hotfix from that comment is added here slightly adated as freecad-font-10514.patch

Looks good ? Would be good to get it merged to make freecad usable in Nix. |
|
Ready to approve and merge ? |
|
Can you review this change @AndersonTorres ? This would be really good to have to have a usable freecad that does not lock up and use 100% resources. |

widening the audience to @kirillrdy who merged the 0.21 -> 1.0rc2 #343592 PR |

@srounce If you want to get review requests for packages you maintain you need to join the https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-maintainers team |
|
Yeah, but I ( @hzeller ) am not a maintainer of this package, just someone who had a fix. |
|
oh, I see, you mean that @srounce gets the notifications for this PR. |

i'm still getting this on current deftdawg's workaround mentioned here (and launching FreeCAD from the same shell i did that in) indeed got rid of the spam and made FreeCAD usable |
