X_OpenFont BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) #216

duskmoon314 · 2021-10-19T14:57:05Z

Hi, I'm trying to use tlmgr's gui which needs X window, so I installed XQuartz 2.8.1 via homebrew.

When I tried to open tlmgr's gui, I got this error message:

Loading local TeX Live database
  (/usr/local/texlive/2021/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb)
This may take some time, please be patient ...
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Value in failed request:  0x80003e
  Serial number of failed request:  302
  Current serial number in output stream:  303

I have searched and found issue #97 but it seems different (I really don't know 😢 xlsfonts and xclock seems work fine)

Please let me know what information I need to provide to solve this problem.

My environment:

macOS Big Sur 11.6
XQuartz 2.8.1
cpan: /opt/homebrew/bin/cpan script version 1.676, CPAN.pm version 2.28
# (I used cpan to install Tk, and when running tlmgr it told me to install X window)

Any help will be appreciated.

This error can be reproduced using xfontsel:

Select linotype fndry
Select times fmly
Following error appears:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
Value in failed request:  0x600001
Serial number of failed request:  9
Current serial number in output stream:  10

We can observe an apparent inconsistency when running xlsfonts: when requesting listing attributes of the fonts, a much smaller list is returned.

A) List matching fonts:

$ xlsfonts -fn '-linotype-times-*'
-linotype-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard

-linotype-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-microsoft-cp1252

B) List attributes as well:

$ xlsfonts -l -fn '-linotype-times-*'
DIR  MIN  MAX EXIST DFLT PROP ASC DESC NAME
-->    0  255  some    0   36  16    4 -linotype-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

-->    0  255  some    0   36  12    4 -linotype-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-5

C) List properties as well:

$ xlsfonts -ll -fn '-linotype-times-*'
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Value in failed request:  0x600001
  Serial number of failed request:  9
  Current serial number in output stream:  10

The issue seems related to the fonts found via the /opt/X11/share/system_fonts entry in the Font Path.

The issue happens in Monterrey 12.2.1; I think the title should be changed to "X_OpenFont BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)"

jeremyhu · 2022-06-15T15:22:16Z

Can you explain how this is related to /opt/X11/share/system_fonts?

jeremyhu · 2022-06-15T15:29:14Z

#217 (dupe) has some sample code to try and reproduce this.

duskmoon314 · 2022-06-16T12:59:38Z

Several weeks ago, I install mactex-no-gui via homebrew to replace the previous tex-live 2021. And I can use tlmgr's GUI with XQuartz out of problem now.

I have no idea about the detail of this problem. orz

Maybe @medranocalvo can explain.

jeremyhu · 2022-06-17T14:48:09Z

I think I see one possible issue. We don't wait for font caching to complete before starting up the server. In both places that we cache fonts (system and user), we push the caching into the background. I don't remember why we did that, but it seems like a clear race condition.

/opt/X11/etc/X11/xinit/privileged_startx.d/20-font_cache
/opt/X11/bin/startx

I actually just hit this myself, and it was resolved by running xset fp= "/opt/X11/share/fonts/misc/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/OTF,/opt/X11/share/fonts/Type1/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/opt/X11/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/opt/X11/share/fonts/75dpi/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/100dpi/,/Library/Fonts,/opt/X11/share/system_fonts,built-ins", so that seems to indicate that at least in my case, it was caused by that race condition here.

This did not work for me on my M1 Macbook Pro running the latest 12.4 Monterey.

If I select any of the system ttf fonts from /opt/X11/share/system_fonts in xfontsel or try to use them for an xterm I get:

Trying the above solution:

Still gives the same error when I attempt to select the Monaco font in xfontsel.

jeremyhu · 2022-06-19T23:39:48Z

@nello What is the invocation you are using? What is the output of xlsfonts?

nello · 2022-06-19T23:54:17Z

The output of xlsfonts is over 10,000 lines :)

It does contain Monaco fonts:

I can't select Monaco in xfontsel or find a way to use it for my xterm font that works for me. I've tried adding it to .Xresources, and using -fb -fa -font -fn etc. but admit that I'm pretty confused about how this should work.

jeremyhu · 2022-06-20T01:57:27Z

@nello Can you give me your exact invocations?

nello · 2022-06-20T05:24:54Z

Hi, thanks for looking at this. In .Xresources, this seems to work:

xterm*font:		-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

This (and every variation of it I have tried!) does not - xterm will not even load, even though all those varieties of Monaco are apparently installed on my system:

xterm*font:             -misc-monaco-medium-*-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Is that what you mean by "invocations"?

jeremyhu · 2022-06-20T07:58:11Z

By invocations, I want to know how you are invoking xfontselect. What is the exact command line you are using?

medranocalvo · 2022-06-20T08:13:59Z

Hello @jeremyhu,

Can you explain how this is related to /opt/X11/share/system_fonts?

The only relation is that the issue stops manifesting when removing /opt/X11/share/system_fonts from the font path.

Changing the font path as you suggested does not help (commands are lines starting with $):

$ xset fp= "/opt/X11/share/fonts/misc/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/OTF,/opt/X11/share/fonts/Type1/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/opt/X11/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/opt/X11/share/fonts/75dpi/,/opt/X11/share/fonts/100dpi/,/Library/Fonts,/opt/X11/share/system_fonts,built-ins"

I initially thought it was related to the TTC format, but other fonts such as "Optima.ttc" do not produce the error.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help.

(Sorry for the late answer.)

I type xfontsel at the command line. Then select Monaco and boom!

Please confirm if I'm wrong, but it looks like this is an old issue and not a recent regression. I'm seeing this occur with XQuartz 2.7.11 running on macOS 10.13.

jeremyhu · 2022-07-01T02:17:24Z

I'm able to repdouce it on an Ubuntu machine as well with
Monaco.ttf, so it's not something unique to XQuartz.

Unfortunately, I'm having some troubles getting xscope working on darwin right now, but on Ubuntu, here's what I see:

I'm going to start digging around in the server sources to see what might be going on...

Thanks Jeremy. I didn't manage to get to this yesterday, so apologies. I can confirm that it does seem to be an old bug though. I've reproduced now on an older machine.

jeremyhu · 2022-07-02T06:48:21Z

I also started a thread on xorg-devel to see if anyone there had some thoughts: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2022-July/058848.html

This issue also causes crashes in other applications that use tk, see https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/tktview?name=36e379c01b

We could also reproduce the issue on our own machine (apple silicon based with Big Sur, Xquarts 2.8.3). To further diagnose the problem we used the following shell script to detect fonts that are giving errors:

#!/bin/bash

outputFileBad="problemFonts.txt"
if [ -f $outputFileBad ] ; then
rm -v $outputFileBad
fi

outputFileGood="goodFonts.txt"
if [ -f $outputFileGood ] ; then
rm -v $outputFileGood
fi

fontList=xlsfonts
goodCnt=0
badCnt=0

OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS='
'

for font in $fontList ; do
echo "Testing font '$font'"
result=xlsfonts -ll -fn $font > /dev/null
R=$?
if [ $R -ne 0 ] ; then
echo $font >> $outputFileBad
let badCnt=badCnt+1
else
echo $font >> $outputFileGood
let goodCnt=goodCnt+1
fi
done
IFS=$OLDIFS
echo "Result: $goodCnt good fonts and $badCnt bad fonts found."

if [ $badCnt -gt 0 ] ; then
echo "The problematic fonts are listed in file $outputFile."
fi

This script found 10000+ "good" fonts and 477 "bad" ones. See problemFonts.txt for the latter ones. All of the problematic fonts seem to have the pattern "0-0-0-0-p-0" or "0-0-0-0-m-0", which seem to be much rarer in the good fonts.

On Ventura we also detected two fonts that give errors but have a different pattern:

-misc-gb18030 bitmap-thin-r-ultracondensed--0-0-75-2147483647-c-0-cns11643-2
-misc-gb18030 bitmap-thin-r-ultracondensed--0-0-75-2147483647-c-0-iso10646-1

@nello Is Monaco the only font impacted by this issue? We can add it to the list of fonts skipped when setting up the font dir symlinks like we did for NISC18030.ttf in #304

nello · 2023-01-27T06:17:59Z

Hi, sorry no. It's not the only one, just the particular one I wanted to use. For me it seems that 5-10% of all fonts seem to blow up.

Are the problematic ones all Apple system fonts, or are some of the problematic ones from Xorg?

If I can show this happening with an Xorg-provided font, that might help get some traction...

nello · 2023-01-27T12:34:43Z

I'll have to get back to you, sorry. I had basically abandoned this (it's been a while!) but will take a look tomorrow. I think you may be onto something though

The file problemFonts.txt in our update above has a list of fonts that give errors when queried with xlsfonts -ll -fn , would that be helpful? That file is for Big Sur but we also have lists for Lion and Ventura if that would be helpful.

While implementing the X protocol in Kotlin/JVM, I ran in the same problem. The bad-value error gives the font id. But as I learnt here, it is an internal server problem. Is there a solution in sight?

…a Tk problem, but a known [XQuartz/XQuartz#216] problem.
