Hi Jan,
Just in case "vdr: [3936] ERROR: FreeType: error during FT_Render_Glyph 32, 3" is not caused by this / VDR does not crash because of that (I'm not getting that error), I've noticed that VDR does not start at all if I enable text2skin. It used to work in vdr-1.5.10 but not in 1.5.11 anymore, VDR just dies if I enable it. In the logs I get this:
Nov 18 20:01:35 VillenVDRdevil kernel: em8300_video.o: Video sync rdptr is stuck at 0x0000dc01, wrptr 0x0000dcfb, left 250 Nov 18 20:01:35 VillenVDRdevil kernel: em8300_video.o: Video sync timeout
And then VDR dies. If I disable it and use skinsoppalusikka instead, everything is OK. It even seems more stable (i.e. as stable as text2skin) than it used to, though I haven't done extensive testing yet.
I'm on Gentoo, though. I'm having strange problems there with my dxr3 and >VDR-1.5.10 that other people on other distros don't. This could be one of those.
