Postscript error on linux

[QuinnFreedman]

When I try to run neovide on Ubuntu 19.10 I get the following error: Failed to load by postscript name: NotFound. Then it exits without opening any GUI window.

Running with a stack trance gives this:

Bridge created.

[Kethku]

I suspect this is due to the emoji font not being present. Let me push a fix real quick

[Kethku]

Should be fixed, or at the very least give a better error message.

[Kethku]

Let me know if you get the chance to confirm. Otherwise I will be closing this tomorrow

[QuinnFreedman]

I think that may be fixed. I'm getting a different error now:

[Kethku]

Ah yup thats not very good is it... This msgbox library seems to be becoming less useful that I thought. Let me look into some alternatives.

[Kethku]

Do you have guifont set in your nvim init?

[Kethku]

I just pushed a change which should provide more useful panic messages on linux.

[QuinnFreedman]

I do have a font set with Guifont Knack Nerd Font Mono:h12 in my ginit.vim. I tried removing it and switching to a different font and I still get the same problem. The error message now is:

Bridge created.
thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at 'Could not parse event: Could not parse event from neovim: invalid u64 format -1', src/error_handling.rs:5:9
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace.
thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not load configured font: Could not load Monospace. This font was either the font configured in init scripts via guifont, or the default font is not available on your machine. Defaults are defined here: https://github.com/Kethku/neovide/blob/master/src/renderer/caching_shaper.rs', src/error_handling.rs:5:9

[Kethku]

Ok. I rewrote the font loading. Could you try again? I think it may be fixed.

[QuinnFreedman]

It works! I did get an error saying I had to enable DRI3 in my X11 GPU settings, but now it seems to work. Thanks for working to resolve this.

Now I am able to open a window but I get a new error pretty frequently:

thread 'main' panicked at 'index out of bounds: the len is 50 but the index is 62', /rustc/73528e339aae0f17a15ffa49a8ac608f50c6cf14/src/libcore/slice/mod.rs:2796:10

I also get a long scroll of Draw command out of bounds warnings

[Kethku]

Thats VERY strange. I'm not sure why it would be rendering out of window bounds. Can you hit me with a screen cap?

[Kethku]

Further setting RUST_BACKTRACE would be super useful so I can pinpoint where exactly the out of bounds error is happening (although I have a hunch)

[QuinnFreedman]

It seems like it happens when hjkl-ing past the edge of the buffer where they should just do nothing.

[Kethku]

That's very interesting. Looks like you are using a window manager which is confusing winit (the window library). The error you are getting only happens when the window doesn't properly update neovim about the size of itself. Which is a very strange error. Can you give some details about your window manager and or try in a more standard window mode (I don't know if that's possible...). This feels a lot like an upstream issue...
