setfont doesn't invoke gzip? #32

Closed nmeum closed 5 years ago

nmeum commented 5 years ago

My Linux distribution (Alpine Linux) recently received an upgrade from kbd 2.0.4 to kbd 2.2.0. I noticed that 2.2.0 behaves a bit different in regards to file handling:

The first setfont invocation definitely used to work with kbd 2.0.4. Is it possible that the decompressor (gzip) is not invoked for the first invocation for some reason and kbd tries to parse the gzip compressed data and fails? strace -f setfont ter-v16n.psf.gz seems to confirm this hypothesis: https://tpaste.us/NKjk

Can you try to reproduce it on master ?

I tried but I didn’t succeed. I ran the command (log attached):

strace -fF -o setfont.log -e file ./setfont lat9w-10.psfu

setfont.log

Can confirm that the current master fixes this bug.
