Does it still crash if you turn TrueType off?

Me and another user are experiencing the exact same problem, but under OS X, and at the default zoom level. Turning off truetype or zooming out will work around the problem. This problem is easily produced with the following steps:

download fresh 34.07 for os x
generate world
embark
press F12
press b
crash


src/g_src/ttf_manager.cpp:139: failed assertion `pixel_width >= ttf_width'
shows in the console

Debian Squeeze 6.0.5, DF 0.34.07, Ironhand 0.73, dual video 2048x1155=4096x1155

I got this 'b' crash while zoomed out (which makes everything smaller), not zoomed in (which makes everything larger), and the workaround to zoom back in (not out) works for me. Zooming out 5 times at the default ZOOM_SPEED of 10: 'b' causes crash; zooming out 4 times: 'b' does not cause crash. Here is my error output from zooming 4 times, 'b', zooming once more, 'b':

Fresh install, fresh world, and fresh embark. I started getting the 'b' crash only after I edited my init.txt file, though I haven't tested thoroughly in that direction. I had changed several options in init.txt, including [ZOOM_SPEED:10] to 50 (I only focused my suspicion there after finding this original bug report page). I am now doubting that this is the source of my problem, but it is really the only thing I can think of that I did differently; I was up all night with the fresh install, zooming in and out all over the place.

OK, so now the weird part. I tested toggling TrueType on and off as a workaround, and now I can not get the thing to crash anymore!! If it happens again, I will report back here. Let me know if you need more info or want me to test anything else.

This crash is still at large, with truetype set to YES, then reproducing the crash is basically as simple as zooming out.

assertion fails without even resizing here, but this is with recompiled libgraphics.so.

disabling the assertion causes misrendered text -- DF miscalculates the size of text input e.g. when trading, and sometimes cuts off text.

what font are you using?

Just got this error on Pop!_OS 21.04 when I pressed "Start playing" after worldgen. Completely vanilla installation with no other worlds, saves, customizations etc.

Of note is that I had zoomed in to the point where the font changed from serif to sans serif.

I had to do some unusual stuff to get DF running in the first place. Here's a condensed summary of what I ran:

sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libopenal1
cd df_linux && rm libs/libstdc++.so.6
