Hi
I'm using Manjaro-Xfce Bellatrix
Manjro uses "canteralla 10" font settings in system fonts. I want to change it with I new font from listed font options. But some fonts make Xfce ort xfwm4 crahes. I experienced this on two pc. After this crash I coudnt even open terminal window. I just have wallpaper and nothing. Here is my topic on Manjaro forum.

Re: changing font settings make crash Xfce or xfwm4

An error message or crash trace would help to identify the issue.

Off-hand it sounds like it might be (they all look like duplicates):
- https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10616
- https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11300
- https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10344
- https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11292

If the crash error message is something like "cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.", then as a workaround, try installing the ttf-droid font package:

sudo pacman -S ttf-droid

Thanks ToZ your answer. Yes same with 2nd and 4th bug reports. I dont remember which fonts (because I experienced this more than 5 fonts). Maybe it is about thema settings. In my case I could handle this using tty2 screen.
