Hi all,

Thanks for reports.
The issue is caused by the very long string (about 5000) of /Notice (...) in fourier-orns.pfb.
Kitagawa-san proposed increase of PST_STRING_LEN_MAX in pst.h.
I added check of NULL pointer for a new pst object in pst_obj.c and committed r77350.

Now, if there is too long PST string in fonts, dvipdfm-x raise fatal error like this:

----
❯ dvipdfmx a04.dvi
a04.dvi -> a04.pdf
[1
dvipdfmx:fatal: NULL pointer data for object type: 5

No output PDF file written.

Best regards,
takuji
