Description
Some users of my project on MacOS Catalina are encountering a crash after I updated font-kit to 0.5. Unfortunately I don't have a MacOs machine on hand to repro the issue.
https://github.com/Kethku/neovide/issues/126
There has been some significant investigation of the issue within my project linked above. The issue doesn't happen in debug builds.
A more detailed crash log was reported here: https://github.com/Kethku/neovide/files/4241972/crash_log.txt Although I have suspicions that this may be a different issue as he reported the problem didn't go away when compiling for debug.
At some point I may be able to get access to a mac machine and build a minimal repro, but it probably won't be for a while... Any insight into what might be going on would be greatly appreciated.
