Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/1253

Met with segmentation fault while trying to load some translated AVG games.

This behavior was observed in loading of Toradora Portable (Chinese Translated version) and Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai Portable (Chinese Translated Version) these two games.

Error output file:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2cmIAqfPwVaZ2lGZUkzSURwYTQ/edit

I'm not sure what module of the app caused this bug, but I suppose it is about the fonts... And it may even be something with the Chinese translated version's problem, which may use GBK encoded fonts rather than UTF8. But as I haven't got any original Japanese game isos, I cannot test it myself to locate the problem.

Is this with fastmem off? Do you have a compiler you could use to get a stack trace (such as Visual Studio Express)?

Opps, I ran the game with fastmem on....

Turning fastmem off actually clears the crash of the whole program, but the game still won't work, it blocks with a black screen, here is the error output:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2cmIAqfPwVaV3l5X0EtSXptUjA/edit?usp=sharing

I tried the gdb with debug build under Linux platform, send a sigint while the app is blocked ,and get the following stack trace info:

Hmm, "libc:%s: no reent structure", that's never a good thing (that's coming from the game's libc.) It does look probably font related as you said.

After copying all the font files from ppsspp/flash0/font/ to my ppsspp flash path ~/.ppsspp/flash, this font related problem is solved, PPSSPP still have other problems while running these AVGs, but that would be another issue.

Also, I recommend that we should add some code to initialize user's flash directory with flash0 directory or at least add some instructions in docs, do some packaging for linux users about these fonts. But I think these would be other issues, too.

Anyway, I think this issue can be closed.

I'm going to reopen and edit the title of this issue, we should handle this better.

This has been done now, it copies them into the build directory and uses them from there.
