Re: XFT enabled Mozilla/Firebird spontaneous exits/crashes after upgrading to FC1 from RH8

Thank you very much. I did some digging as well and found that the problem was caused my a mismatch between the files "fonts.cache-1" and the actual font files that were installed on disk (just as the bug described)

I found that I could move away the file fonts.cache-1 and solve the problem. I presume that the files are regenerated when not found, but I'm not so sure about that.

Hi all,

I just performed a "no brains" upgrade from RH8.0 to FC1, and am finding that XFT-enabled Mozilla and Firebird both spontaneously exit when browsing several websites. It happens on all versions of Mozilla with XFT (1.4.1, 1.5, 1.6a) and Firebird 0.7. Non-XFT versions of the same products can browse with no problems.

In addition, I was running an XFT enabled Mozilla 1.5 under RH 8.0 before the upgrade with no problems.

I suspect that there is some combination of:
- A bug in XFT
- A bug in Mozilla
- Something wrong with my local user font configuration (~/.fonts and /usr/share/fonts -- but any "problem" with these that causes such a crash is really just a problem with XFT in my opinion) If I move away ~/.fonts and ~/.phoenix, I still have the problem.


Has anyone experienced the same problems, and is there an easy solution?
Steve
