Subject: 26.0.50;
 Hang when displaying some special characters for the first time
Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2017 12:20:35 -0700

1. Start `emacs -Q` (GUI mode, GTK3).
2. Open a scratch buffer.
3. Insert a MATHMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL LAMBDA (0x1D77A): 𝝺

The first time this character is displayed, Emacs hangs for ~15 seconds
pegging the CPU at 100%. Unfortunately, the profiler doesn't seem to
notice/record this hang.

Note 1: displaying this character in other applications (GTK3 or
otherwise) does not exhibit the same issue.
Note 2: C-g doesn't interrupt this hang.

That's normal: Emacs is looking for a font that can display this
character.  If you install the Symbola font, I think the search will
be much faster.

So, I could have sworn I tested this with emacs -Q when I first found
the bug (I've been sitting on it for a while) but I guess I didn't. I
apologize.

It only reproduces for certain fonts.

Known Bad: Source Code Pro, Office Code Pro, Fira Mono
Known Good: Symbola, DejaVu Sans Mono (the default on my system)

So, to reproduce, evaluate the following before pasting the special
character.

  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Source Code Pro-10")

Hardly. 15 seconds is a *long* time for a computer and every other

I do have Symbola installed and the character does display correctly
eventually.

Takes less than a second here.  Looks like the behavior depends on more
than the default font.

Is this the only thing one has to do, in "emacs -Q", in order to
reproduce the problem with these fonts?  Or do you have other
font-related customizations on your init files?

I meant "normal" as in "Emacs is known to do that sometimes when
searching for a font".  I'm not sure comparison with other
applications is valid, as Emacs attempts to solve a more complex
problem, and its font-searching algorithms are biased in favor of
finding fonts which support scripts and languages, not symbols.

As for comparison with fc-cache, Emacs many times examines each font
several times with different options, so it could be slower.

Is it eventually displayed using Symbola or some other font?

That's the only thing I have to do. Evaluate that, paste the character
in question, and then wait.

Eli Zaretskii <eliz <at> gnu.org> writes:

Emacs is also known to sometimes crash. That doesn't make this behavior
"normal". I'd understand "expected behavior" but I'd disagree (15
seconds is a *really* long time to hang just to lookup a font).

Eli Zaretskii <eliz <at> gnu.org> writes:

How are those any different? From a computer's perspective, they're all
just Unicode blocks.

Regardless, if this is the case, one could solve this problem by simply
stacking the algorithms: execute the normal (fast) search first and
fallback on Emacs' complex (slow) search.

However, I kind of doubt this is a fundamental limitation in the current
font search algorithm.

Eli Zaretskii <eliz <at> gnu.org> writes:

Symbola. However, when the default font is DejaVu, it's displayed with
"DejaVu Math TeX Gyre" (a different font in a different file).

A workaround is to manually specify that "DejaVu Maath TeX Gyre" should
be used:

   (defun font--configure (&optional frame)
     (let ((font (font-spec :name "DejaVu Math TeX Gyre")))
       (set-fontset-font t '(#x1D400 . #x1D7FF) font frame)))

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this problem in Emacs 28, but then again, this
problem seems to rely on a particular set of fonts being installed.

Are you still seeing the problem in recent Emacs versions?

It could be that those 15 sec is what Emacs needs to search the
available fonts before it finds the one that can display the
character.

Oops, I see that I already said that, and the OP didn't like it, to

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
