Font not compatible with the new TextLayout?

MacOSX and iOS
1

Hello Jules,

I have recently made the transition to Juce 2 and I’m having repeated crashes in the CoreText functions that are called by TextLayout::createLayout(). All worked well using Juce version 1.x.

This happens when I use a font called “Euterpe” for some very simple tooltips showing musical symbols. No problem with tooltips using the default font.

If I force the TextLayout::createLayout() function to use createStandardLayout() instead of createNativeLayout() all works properly (I guess this is equivalent to Juce 1.x).

Do you have any suggestions?

There’s really not much point in saying something has crashed without posting a stack trace…

Actually it is not a real crash, I apologize for the incorrect use of the expression. The execution remains locked in a kind of infinite loop in CoreText.
This is a partial stack trace showing the point around which blocking takes place.
I guess it’s due to a peculiarity of the font “Euterpe”.
